Please tell us about the "Sentimental Journey"! I'd love to hear u'r story and see a few pics of the bird if possible.

BRANKO!!! Thanks for helping keep Her in the air. You have stories that make us all wide eyed welps. See you in the air soon, send the results to Shadow.

The 17's fun in team battles (did I say that) as it turns into the 'great b17 giveaway' in that they line up behind it giving your guys easy pickings!

congrats Site on getting you're b17

im the same Gilly there are a few i fear flying against! no matter what you do you can never get her ass the way you want it to go, ooooops left wing bye lol, as you've heard me say before .............. "ive been McQ'ed " hahaha


stuka's i find notoriously difficult to shot down ........... Hmm might have something to do with me being pants at dog fighting lollol

[siteseeker]

i don't know which is more difficult.... shooting down Gilly or Branko... i do know both will make you earn that kill!!!!!

[Reddisback]

...isn't that the point, noob or ace, is to get on someones 6 and hose them down with lead?

Didn't see the post or I would have looked at it. always like looking or reading about the old birds. I have seen several in my time...even was there when the 909 crashed at the Beaver Co airshow...wished i had it on video.

Your female B-17G pilot branko57

Hey Branko, I for one enjoyed reading about your time flying on Sentimental Journey. Going to airshows, sitting in the front lower seat, and how the B-17 crews ignored each other (sad). I would have commented earlier, as I'm sure the others would have too if we knew you wanted us to reply. Anyway, see you in the sky... watermanr7

[McQ59]

Yeah, I'm sorry i missed it completely there Branko. But your post made me google "Sentimental Journey", and it was a feast to find out about that bird. So thank you for u'r post.
