I can imagine how Doug may have felt. <br /><br />He's surely not that much of a tightwad.. the proof is in what you used to take these marvellous photos. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-62291695791120701532013-07-26T16:14:48.513-04:002013-07-26T16:14:48.513-04:00Great pictures.

My late dad was also a flight junkie and I would have loved sharing this picture with him.

Gads!!!! George and I are going to ride on a tall ship (one of G's loves) when we go to Williamsburg and Yorktown in Sept. BUT--we're only paying $35 each for a 2-hour sunset ride... Even that is expensive --but nothing like that airplane ride...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-8567613754773443482013-07-26T11:09:53.110-04:002013-07-26T11:09:53.110-04:00You got some great photos of the B-17.

I'm sure Doug would have enjoyed it immensely.

He read lots of books and magazines on war army machines and equipment. When my father died I moved most of them to our house where some of them are displayed, most of them stored and they definitely belong to my life. I can understand Doug's passion and find this post very interesting. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
