Yesterday I took my wife and son to the see the B-17 Flying Fortress known as Sentimental Journey as it traveled into our local airport. It doesn't come here often, I think this is the first time in three years since it has been here and since maintaining and keeping these fine airplanes in flying condition costs so much, one never knows if they will see it again. They plan on having flights later this week so hopefully we can go back and get a few glimpses of her on take off and landing, I have seen this one and another B-17 in flight before and its a sight to behold. I can hardly imagine seeing an entire flight of these crossing into Europe over the English channel during World War II.
