I just wanted to share these pics (I took) with all of you.
Hope you don't mind the non-CH content.
My friend got to take about a 1/2 hour ride in it,
lucky dog. When he got back, he said it was worth 10 times what he paid for the experience.
You can too.......http://www.b17.org/schedule.html ,it might be heading your way.

KOP,
Nice photos and your friend is a lucky dog, indeed. They weren't flying with any live ammo, were they? Drat, probably not. ;D I remember seeing one at the EAA in Oshkosh ... very cool aircraft.
Take care
BruceD
