B-17 Aluminum Overcast FLIGHT from Napa on 5/8/2007

Back


Go to http://b17.org and fly B-17 'Aluminum Overcast!' Members of the national organization Experimental Aircraft Association [EAA] have reconditioned this B-17 Flying Fortress that tours North America every year out of Oshkosh, WI ...here visiting in Napa on May 8th and 9th 2007 from the Napa County Airport, California, USA. The challenge during take-off [due to strict SAFETY Standards] was to achieve proper camera angle out the cockpit and side windows from a seated position facing backwards towards the tail of the aircraft below the flight deck. It was kinda like shootin' from the hip facing the wrong direction with fairly good accuracy. My hope is this inspires ALL to support and contribute to such a valiant, honorable representation of our love and support we all share for every veteran, both young and old, with us and deceased, for their sacrafice in their fight for our freedom and liberty that many times seems taken for granted. In honor of all those who have and continue to serve such a selfless commitment for every American!
