Been Seen In a B-17

Saturday S.P.
"Been Seen In a B-17"
This is officially off my bucket list, yes I got to fly in a B-17 today!!!! This was from the nose high over the Saskatchewan prairie.
It's hard to hold a camera still with this old warbird "Sentimental Journey" shaking the $&!# out of you!!!
I can't even imagine the crews that spent 10 hours on a bombing run deep into Germany in this bird for that long at a time......

Nikon D3 ,Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
f/8.0 at 15.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I flew in a A-7 Corsiar (t-bird) trainer when I was in the Navy- Single engine vietnam era jet- what a kick in the @ss. This is a whole different level of awesomeness. Congrats on just getting a ride- BRAVO for doing on SPS Day! Awesome.
