Hunting Bombers

There's a small town in Ohio- Moraine, and the mayor (Harold something..), back in the 80's used to do aerobatics in a B17. Pretty ballsy IMO.

There's a B17 display not far from me (Fantasy of Flight) that you can walk through, and it has a movie screen below the open bomb bay, of the German counrtyside going by. It's piped with engine sounds and radio "chatter". It's set at night and really puts you in a different place for a few moments.

The B29 that dropped the second A bomb used to be a walk-through display at the AF museum in Ohio. I bet only a few of the hundreds of thousands of folks that went through it took the time to crawl up and touch the "button", like I did when I was a kid.
