A few years ago two WWII bombers flew into our town . . one a B-17. It cost me $400.0 to go up in it. . but it was well worth it. Once up in the air they allowed you to walk through the plane and sit at the various places, radio operator (my father in WWII) and where the bombardier sat lining up the sights and controlling the speed of the aircraft. My father was also a tail gunner and got shot down in the Pacific. He spent a couple of days on an inflatable raft. They did have the tail gunner area closed off . as well as the ball turret. .but the rest of the craft was wide open for exploration. Here is a cool video on the Lancaster. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw13h-MmnVs Kirk _______________________________________________ Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums |
