Default B-17 at Springbank Airport until Monday (June 27, 2016)

I wish I knew they were coming and I wouldn't have planned to be away... Sharing in case others who may be interested haven't heard. Ground tours and air tours on offer for reasonable sums considering there are only a handful of these left in flying condition worldwide. Funds support restoration and maintenance of vintage and historically significant planes.

Wish I had heard about this sooner, I am going to be away while it is here.

Amazing opportunity!

Flew over my office this morning. Coolest thing I've seen in a while. Nothing like the roar of old school engines like that. What a sight.
