Re: Flying in a Classic Aircraft.

Thanks for all the comments, in response: How many went up in the B-17 with you? There were ten of us inside the B-17, we could go anywhere except the tail gun and lower ball turret (both for obvious reasons). In one of the shots, the pilot doesn't appear to have his feet on the rudder pedals. I'm w...
