A Really good day for Full Auto - Full Auto - 06-07-2006 Today was my lucky day! I just happened to bring in the paper this morning and I see there is a restored B-17G at our local airport. They were selling rides of 35 minutes in the plane which was called Aluminum Overcast. The rides were $425.00 which was too steep for my budget. But I took some great photos and I watched them start up the old gal and then taxi out and take off. It was pretty awesome seeing those 4 Pratt and Whitney engines fire up. The website for the plane is b17.org. I will post some photos later when I get them off the camera. I just had to share a unexpected cool moment on a nondescript Tuesday morning. Bob RE: A Really good day for Full Auto - Yossarian - 06-07-2006 Hey Bob....check out my post on this board from 5/28/06. The "Alluminum Overcast" is the exact plane that I flew in last month. Great ride. :smoke: mike/Yossarian
