Description
It takes a lot of work to keep an old warbird flying. The mechanics at the Museum of Flight on Scholes Field in Galveston, TX are getting the Boeing B-17G "Thunder Bird" ready for an airshow. Hats off to the guys with the tools who keep 'em flying!

Nice shot - I've earned a couple of rides on B-17s in exchange for patching the endless cracking.
