Default Re: Aircraft pics

I was sitting in my office at home working on my taxes and I heard that awesome, unmistakable sound of the four Cyclone radial engines of a B-17 Flying Fortress. As I run thru the house in route to the back yard the bird flies right over the house.

Wow! how cool was that. He looks to be headed to Van Nuys airport so I called my brother, the responsible party for the first F-16 put into Air Force service back in '79, 001 Balls one as he called it. He says it just flew over his house too as he (the pilot) had landed at Van Nuys.

Well I'm headed for a short putt over to his place with my camera and lets see if I can get a shot of this incredible piece of aviation history. I'll post pictures if I can get some.
