Originally posted by subsea I was out at the Commemorative Air Force (Arizona Wing) in Mesa, AZ last Thursday. Their B-17G was just pulled out of maintenance that morning and we got to see her up close. I got some good pictures and took a few videos of engine start, taxiing and takeoff from which I'll post some stills later. For now, here are 4 pics of "Sentimental Journey" sitting out in the hot Arizona sunlight while museum personnel get her ready for her first post-maintenance flight. All taken with my K-3II and HD DA 16-85mm.
I saw that airplane back in 1986, at Paine Field, in Everett, Washington.
Lynnwood Rotary Airshow, Paine Field 1986.
Shot on Kodachrome, with a Ricoh XR2S, with a Pentax M40-80mm zoom lens.
