What a weekend...we arrived Monday morning to YIP preparing to leave what was one of the best airshows in years. 4 B-17's and a B-24 lined up with not a soul around. It felt like a real mission. I flew in 909 during the show Sunday and I cannot convey the sense of awe of being in the air with 3 other -17's...let alone sitting out doing the run-ups amongst 16 Wright Cyclones...the sound was beyond words. The people who put this show together did a great job...just about every type of WWII aircraft was represented and flew. What a treat. As we departed YIP Monday it was hard not to feel real sentimental towards all the guys that sacrifed so much to give us what we have today...can't wait til next year.
