Description

Here's another view of the Boeing B-17G "Flying Fortress" at Scholes Field in Galveston, TX being serviced before an airshow. That's a replica of an early Curtiss Floatplane hanging from the rafters. (Photo taken April 2007)

Thanks for this Rog,I always say I would have liked to hear the sound of a large sqadron flying over head.Or I would be happy to hear just one.I have heared a lancaster many times,but just imagine twenty Lancasters or Fortresses at once.

Excellent capture. I bet it is hard to find mechanics and parts for this beauty. That would make it High Maintenance, indeed. Todd

@Maudawg: I know what you mean about the old radial engines. However, he B-17 used Wright Cyclones!
