Flight in a B-17

Wings over Waukesha this past Saturday.
I took Dad, 81 yo WWII vet, to see the planes and watch the B-17 take off and land as they gave rides. The B-17 is owned by the EAA and goes out on tour each year. Every few years it stops here. Dad said let's go up so we did.
I-94 as we took off

Holy Hill from the side window of the cockpit, too bad the cloud shadow was over the Basilica.

Norden bombsight in the nose


Over Okauchee Lake - co-worker, "Hey, the gun's pointed at my house!"

Dad in the cockpit with the flight engineer and back on the ground.


Dad had a great time and even remembered it the next day
