You're right man. Terrible in every way. I posted a pic of me inside that aircraft circa 2013, when a few Collings foundation planes were at Perry airport near the house. I will get my ride on a B-17 before I die. However, I want it to be the one the CAA flys as the "Memphis Belle". Just having been on this aircraft makes it a little more personal for me. MY youngest son was with me when we toured it.
