There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I was thinking that if they were going to try to sell/pawn, if the Old Man would broker the deal....he is one tough guy when it comes to deal-making! This must be the season of a/c because they
had an offer to buy an L-39....Good show with some interesting history thrown in for good measure.

Anybody as surprised as I am that Chumlee fit through the Bomb bay?
Would have been more fun to watch him enter through the nose hatch! Probably would have scraped off half those tats.

Having flown on a B-17 once I can say that if the flight were long enough, I could definitely sleep in that bird. Aft of the bomb bay is relatively quiet... for an aircraft with four piston engines and absolutely no sound-deadening insulation.
Yes he is asleep, Yes we were in flight..... That is Scott, our tour director. Lot's of B-17 time in that man.... He used the repositioning flights as time to catch up on some shut-eye.
And you are right about the sound.... It's just a constant steady purr/roar.... However, last year I think I posted about the difference between a B-25 & B-17... Yeah, any film you've ever seen of people talking to each other in a B-25, totally not real.... I had a headset on, and I couldn't hear what they were saying through that!!!!!!!! I was dumb and took the headset off to climb in the nose when i should have just unplugged and kept it on... won't make that mistake again! I was thinking what my dad would have said, "You need to get the WHOLE EXPERIENCE!!!" yeah, right pops.... guess who kept THEIR headset on when going into the nose..............
