Last Friday while in Alexandria, LA., I exited my car and heard a droning sound and looked up to see a B-17 flying slowly over the VA clinic. What a treat that was. It's been years since I last saw one in flight. Don't know which one it was, but it was all OD green with no tail insignia. Couldn't make out the numbers.
