Ride of a Lifetime

The boys in my family got to go up in a B-17 last week.  So jealous.  It has sentimental value to me: my grandpa crashed in a plane just like this during WWII.  I even got the crew chief to open the hatch to the tailgunner’s position so I could sit in the seat.  Being young and blonde has its advantages sometimes.  Isn’t she pretty?

I second that jealousy! But how fun that they got to experience a flight in not just any old plane but in one that has such sentimental value to all of us. :) Thanks for sharing!
