Hunting Bombers

Nice pics. Was a B17 the flew over my house several times a summer for years. Unfortunately, the pilot had to set her down in a corn field due to mechanical problems last year. She caught fire and was totaled. Just a shame. Pilot did a incredible job missing power lines and such before setting in the field. he was credited with saving all aboard. He credited the plane for getting them down in one piece. There still a B-25 and P38 that reside at the airfield in Aurora. But my wife and I will miss seeing that "Fortress" flying low and slow over the house.
