Nicely presented Bruce!

The Yankee Air Force museum is near my home, and they have a flying B-17, along with a couple of other old warbirds. My home is in the approach path of our local airport, which is approx. 20 miles away from Willow Run, which is where YAF is based. Several times a year, their B-17 flies over my house while moving from one to the other for various air shows and other events. I've learned to recognize the unique sound of the engines as it's coming, and usually run outside just in time to see it gracefully drift overhead. I love it when that happens.

Welcome to the Cellar, Bobbin.

@ SteveDallas, the nose art is pretty tame, although the rivets are in the right place.

What I couldn't get a picture of was the pilots side which has the same art plus 64 bombs, one for each mission.
Prior to the flight the pointy top fence kept me from getting to the other side, and when we deplaned after the flight, they kept the left side engines running, so I wasn't allowed to go around there.

It must be true love. At least you spelt Liberty Belle correctly.

The only time I've ever seen that plane before was in one of the segments of the Heavy Metal animated movie. I've always marveled at all the many points of offense/defense on that plane and though for the longest time that it had come out of the illustrator/animator's mind. I'm frankly thrilled to find out it's a real plane.

Thanx Bruce!
