We've got a B-17 and B-24 at the downtown airport till noon tomorrow. Got to walk thru both planes. And I'm convinced I wouldn't have wanted to be in one with someone shooting at me.

The B-17 took some passengers for a ride and I stayed behind to shoot pictures.

#1 is great. I've always got an out of town event when the good stuff comes to KC!

Its always a pleasure and a very unique experience to hear and see the old warbirds up and flying.

I love #1. Just seeing an old Warbird flying with the newer aged City in the background.

the pictures are beautiful, but I don't think I would have stayed back for anything!

These are great shots. I love the one with the city in the BG. I actually got a ride on that bird last May out here in CA. I can almost tell from your shots, but I'm assuming that's the nine-o-nine.

Here is a pic looking out the roof at about 150MPH.

I'm not meaning to steal your thunder, I just saw the plane and wanted to share.

You've got a good eye. It was the Nine-O-Nine. It was a lot of fun watching that plane. I've got lots more images but was so tired last night I uploaded... process the 2 I liked the most and went to bed!

It's hell to get old!
