This just made my photography year. This week this wonderful old war bird has been in Peterborough for tours as part of the Canada 150 celebrations. It is up from a US museum group and only one of just a few B17 Flying Fortresses still flying. This weekend they are taking people on 25 minute rides (big bucks and tickets sold out in minutes a few months ago). I was out with the pup this morning and for some reason put the Lumix P&S in my pocket and am I ever glad I did. I heard the engines coming up the lake and knew what it had to be so I waited on the yard and he went right over the house on his circle back to the airport about 20 miles away. What a sound, I cannot imagine what it would be like to hear these in large groups during the war. What an honor to see.
