A B-17, B-24, and a P-51 were in Ft. myers @ Page Field. stopped by Monday shot some pics, and set up to fly in the B-17 this morning. Pretty cool stuff when they fired up the engines.

their next stop is Marathon!

If you ever read the book "Unbreakable" it details that 70% of all Aircraft lost during WWII were lost during training.

Not sure I'd ever want to be a tail gunner though......

Really cool pics.
Thanks.

How long did you get to fly?

**Spudsbud** · 02-04-2013 12:26 AM

My Dad's 1st job in WWII was "hosing out" the remains in the tailgunner compartment so they could rebuild it.
He didn't do that very long.......

Sometimes we forget what others have gone through for us. Salute to your Dad...

That would be a really cool ride for awhile, unless you're being shot at.
