The other visitor that buzzed my house...I have seen shots of her posted here at SimV before so I know some of you have already been in her maybe even flown in her ($425 per person, wife said no, damn)

I was trying to extend the exposure a bit so I could get the names to show a bit brighter and wound up blowing the sky out...oh well  ;D

Very nice... 8-)

Unfortunately I havn't seen their B-17 Nine O Nine here in Spokane in some years. I'm either out of town, or apparantly had no idea they were even here.... :-[

In fact, my mug shot in the old SimV wall of fame is of me sitting in the Nine O Nine's cockpit.... ;)


Did you take any photos of their P-51, and of those two lovely biplanes in the background...? :)

This the P-51 you're talking about?

The sound is incredible, when it flew over my house the first day I thought a biker gang was flying overhead  :o

I didn't see Nine O Nine fly when it came last yhear, but I saw and heard Aluminum Overcast. It's an amazing thing to see.

They had the P-51 roped off when I saw it too. I'll see if I have a shot of the names for you if you want.
