That's a cool picture, Scott. What part of Florida do we see, do you know?

B-17 flying in March, can't beat that. Photo out the radio operator window? 9-0-9 is a sweet machine. Did you go up in the CF B-24 last time or was it also the 17? Looking forward to seeing more.

I went for a flight in a B-52 during Op. Enduring Freedom but i didn't get a window

The B-17 must have been sweeeeet.

LaFoto: Thats somewhere around Melbourne, FL, about an hour or so south of Daytona

AIRIC: Yup thats 909, I went in both the B-24 and 909 last Sept. So this is my second flight in 909, it just doesn't get old.

And yes these are taken from the Radioroom.

Hey Scott. You have to love the top hatch opening. I have flown in Yankee Lady and I always felt like I was going to get sucked out of the top hatch. What an excellent place for photos. All you needed was the B-24 in close trail.

Yup, that hatch is my favorite place on the 17, the waist guns are my favorite on the 24. There's nothing like that slip stream to mess up your hair big time. Of course I wrapped the strap of my 20D around my wrist like a turniquet.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to know of any sites that show you how to clean the CCD of a 20D do you?
