Description
A 1945 Boeing B17G, one of about 8600 of this model built for use during WWII(just over 12100 B17's were produced by three different manufacturers during the war years) . This particular venerable old bird travels throughout the United States offering 35 minute flights for a reasonable fee. Named Aluminum Overcast, she is operated by the Experimental Aviation Association out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Go here for more details...

For my birthday (which isn't until July) this year, my wife bought me a seat on this wonderful old bomber. We went up yesterday (Memorial Day) because she is in Seattle on that weekend. What could be more fitting?
The business end of a Browning .50 cal machine gun. These fearsome weapons fire about one round per second. The slug is about the size of a man's thumb. They are devastating.
