• 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.

My ride in the Liberty Belle B-17 cockpit

Very nice video, thank you for sharing it - it must have been a great thrill!

Although it was a very unfortunate circumstance (the loss of the "Liberty Belle") that brought about its use by the Liberty Foundation, it is great to see the "Movie Memphis Belle" on tour.
 
Good stuff. I didn't hear the hydraulic pump going off during taxi. Made me sad...! :icon_lol:
 
Yeah, it was a real rush! The B-17 has my family history tied to it - 2 of my uncles flew it on missions, and my one bloodline uncle paid for it with his life when his plane was hit over Memmingen, Germany. He got the other 9 crewmen out safely, but went down with the plane. He is buried in Belgium. Thankfully, my other uncle who flew it is alive and well!
