Fuddy Duddy is passing through town today through thursday. They are selling rides and tours of the interior. Went over today to check on hours. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow like they are promising, I’m going back with the camera. Was talking to one gentleman. He was telling me about serving on the presidential yacht under Roosevelt, and all the high Navy brass who came around. Eavesdropped on another conversation where a man was describing bailing out of the tail gunner position of the B-17, to a man talking about his stateside flying in a B-24. Hope to pick up more tomorrow.
u lucky chap .!!! i would give an arm and a leg to b in your place!!!"£$%^&*
the last Airshow I went to had a B-17,B-25 and a PBY Catalina Amphibian version but of course I also watched the 82nd airborn do a low altitude airdrop but that was at Andrews Airforce base home of Airforce 1.
Sounds very cool.
You all should try and make a trip to Chino, CAand the planes of fame museum.

They usually have a couple of B-17 crew members there to discuss their exploits.
