just this summer I was standing in my back yard as "Aluminium
Overcast" the restored B-17 flew out of our airport, he was at around 500
ft going directly over head, what a GREAT sound that was, brought tears to
my eyes...
I've also been brought to a very awake condition, when a C-47, one
that we sport parachute jump from, does a full throttle high speed pass
over the camping area at 6:00 AM at around 200 feet....cuts right through
the beer fog from the night before....
