I hopped a ride on this bad boy today with our 13yr old Godson. B17 G, toured it yesterday, got up this am. I was surprised as to how small it actually was for what they accomplished, 10 man crew.
The survival rates of crews flying these makes one think twice. I guess Surreal is the only word I have.

Damn! Makes my 650 look slow. I want two of whatever this is.
Okay. It's a Camden machine. Still want one.

Since you didn't post your "dimensions": The average sized man of that day was quite smaller than today.
Yes, I agree. I referred to overall size of the plane. Lol, at 18, I was not getting in the ball turret or be a tail gunner, that was 1976, kids today way bigger than myself.
The downside is only kids pre-puberty can fit in that ball turret... The good news is they're really good at video games
Seems I heard something about UFOs/aliens, navy pilots and senate hearings earlier today.
Hope you are doing alright Barney.
Glad to see you on here.

Thanks mate, it is helping take my mind off things for a while....
Takes time Mate. The only thing that helps is a good Wife, Family, Friends and time.

WHAT CUSTER LEFT BEHIND. In May 1876, Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry with Lt. Col. George Custer left Fort Lincoln (near Bismarck, ND) with three .50 caliber and two 1-inch Gatling guns. The 1-inch guns, as in the photo, were likely left at Powder River Supply Depot near Terry, MT. After Terry and Col. John Gibbon rendezvoused, Custer left the .50 caliber guns behind to avoid slowing the 7th Cavalry. Sec. Lt. William Low and the Gatling guns of the 20th Infantry were assigned to Gibbon.
F. Jay Haynes captured the view at Ft. Lincoln in probably June 1877. The mix of uniform styles included coats made for the Civil War. One of several caissons for ammunition was in view. Haynes stereoscopic camera used glass-plate negatives that required chemical baths immediately before and after shooting. Click image on a PC to better see detail.

Chain drive like the trucks on the old cotton plantations? Asking for a friend.
That takes a special kind of talent.
because the mask is not made to protect you from catching it, but to prevent you from spreading it
imagine standing on the street with a big sign that basically says “I’m an idiot”

If you think there are anti-mask protests now wait until there is a COVID-19 vaccine, the anti-vaxxers will go crazy. The Greatest Generation" left us all too soon.
The Sun & Fun show in Florida has a similar over-water pass with the roostertail effect, or at least it did before their crash in Smyrna a few years back. The Sneak Pass is about 1/3 of the way through their routine - planes 1-4 do an echelon roll from right to left, while #5 passes low from left to right, and #6 passes low from behind, pulling into the vertical. They're limited to 100ft of altitude on the sneak pass, but can do it a bit lower over the water. They'll modify the routine a bit next year when they transition to the Super Hornets - they've already said as much - but I'm sure the Sneak Pass isn't going anywhere.
Son's a Bitches!!!
I'm no antivaxer however.
Even better, wait until people learn that cornorvirus infections are an annual thing and there are no currently manufactured vaccines for any type of coronovirus because they cause issues worse than the disease and have a MUCH higher fatality rate to boot.
Now back to our regular scheduled eye candy.
Regardless of what you think about masks, vaccines do protect the user (theoretically). So you definitely should have no issue with someone else not taking it. You're protected, right?
That fly-by is done by the Blue Angels at SF Fleet week. I used to work as a volunteer for the person hsting the show and the Blues. The CG posted a clear area, right in front of Maritime Park, with ground control out on the pier. I ran three crews: Security, trash pick up, (And Fransicans are trashy people), and Pier control. The fly-by is at just under Speed of Sound, and is intended to show the shockwave at high speed in a high humidity zone just above the water. Every year around Columbus Day.
