You lucky bastage!

What was the name of the B-17? Nine-O-Nine? We have been on Sentimental Journey a couple of times,but never took a flight in one.

Yep She's the 909. Great Aircraft. Collings guys have always looked after me every year I have volunteered. No crew I would rather work with anywhere. I have been very blessed to have gone flying in it as much as I have ~7 times LOL

I am starting like you less and less. j/k

The Collings Foundation seems to be a great organization keeping this alive for future generations. .

I have used the R3 through the R8s before I went digital. Loved the R4S...had some good class for my systems with a 28mm, 90mm, 135mm, 180mm and a 280mmF2.8....used it mostly for sports and that is what ultimately made me jump from film to digital...take a Leica with Fuji Velvia 50 ISO slide film or the ole trusted Kodachrome 64...some beautiful shots!

Foley, the slide film and a Leica are amazing. Been experimenting with Velvia 50 and 100. Absolutely love it. Sadly only got to shoot one roll of Kodachrome 64 before they stopped processing it. Amazing Film.

Superstreet, I probably shouldn't mention the flights in the B24 then?

Sadly no, every time I have flown in the B24 I did not have a camera on me and it was a random "Hey Cody get on there is a free seat" kind of deal.

Wish I could fly. Maybe one day, but doubtful now.

Not a lot of things I am jealous of...

Flying B-17s (and other vintage aircraft) is one of the things on the short list.
