The B-17G nick named "SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY" was booked for an airshow, due the 3 hours long flight i was sitting on the bombadiers seat enjoying the unforgettable view, when oversudden a call (via intercom) reached me to come up into the cockpit. I swear to god, the first pilot left his seat and told me to take over under the assistance of the co.pilot and i really did it. That was a moment in my life i can't put in words !!!

here a few pictures of that particular B-17G...........enjoy !!!
