wow seeing the evergreen bird in that condition blew me away! its been awhile and it wasnt in a showroom setting, just sitting there. we sold some tooling to them and one day purchasing agent asked me if i wanted a looky see. jumped at the chance! stuck myself in ball turret and bomb bay walked and crawled thru the entire plane. thought i was yossarian(we've been diving @catch-22 beach where it was filmed when we were in our early 20's and the set was still intact). man that was one hell of a day at work for me! TOO COOL! didnt know CAF bird was old slurry bomber. they did a great restoration on that one. was at our air show, ran out of digital batteries and was headed to get some more when B-17 did its pass, so was pissed i didnt get any pics. since there are a lot of anti-aeroplane people surrounding where i work, it may be awhile until another show w/a B-17 fly-by! great pics. with only 10 still flying you better jump at any chance to see them.
