This beautifully maintained bird is still doing fly ins thanks to EAA.

Cool!

I caught her at sunset in Texas a few weeks ago.



And the next day...



She's a good looking machine.

Here are some pics from inside this beast. What a memorable ride.

Nice cockpit shot!

Hope you wore your ear plugs...especially in the nose.

And in Long Beach CA.  This plane ride was a real challenge.  Only 25 minutes to take it all in, pictures, the plane, the view.  I thought about handcuffing myself in so I could keep on flying.

One more that I photochopped some.

Should be at VNY Van Nuys today thru weekend.  Going out to see if after work hopefully not in the rain.  It was at Torrance Airport TOA just this past weekend.

She is a beauty, a real treat to see.

Nice shot!  Guess my photos will be in the rain.  Unless the "Valley" clears up.  Did realize it arrived yesterday.  Oh well, that's life.

Very nice shots, indeed!  I, too had the awesome experience of a B-17 ride!  This was way back- late eighties, I think, in Geneseo, N.Y.  These are scans of B&W negs..... Man, how photography has changed!!!!!

Very nice David, great prop blur. Isn't she a beauty? At Boeing Field, how appropriate. Thanks for sharing those.

Very nice David, great prop blur.

Thanks very much!

Not sure whether she was born here or not, I think she was a Vega-built bird. Wherever it was it's always good to see her - she sounds so smooooooth...
