Saw the traffic at Love Field in Dallas come to a screeching halt one day when a B-17 came in. As the pilot hit the brakes, he said if you turn to the left, you will see one of the defenders of our freedom.

Thankfully I had a window seat on the left side. :)

Outside of RC models and an occassional helicopter, it was the only craft I ever saw use that runway at Floyd Bennett since the 50’s!

I did however see a 747 from some middle eastern airline (palm tree on vert. stab.) line up on that runway while on approach to JFK. Pilot had to make two quick, banked turns to get back on the path. Musta been a real pucker moment.
