Back when I was living in Texas, I went to a place that had old aircraft. I forget were it was, but it was fantastic.They had B 17's there and I got to get inside of one.
It was not that easy. I had to stand almost under it, it felt like it anyway, and lift myself up into it. It was wild and I loved being able to be in a plane like that with so much history.
Thanks again for sharing about your Dad and the B 17's.
