When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

    When we visited the planes of Fame in Chino in the early 90's they had a B-17 roped off and by donation you could go board with an WWII vet.  I remember the old guy telling us exactly how many cranks on the handle it would take to lower the landing gear if the hydraulics were shot out. At around that time there was a cable tv show called Planes of Fame. Each episode Steve Hinton would "road test" a Mustang, Corsair, Thunderbolt and others. Very informative show for a novice like me on this stuff.

We try to make the Chino annual air show every year. My son flew in the B-17 a few years ago when it was on tour but that was at Burbank airport..

Really cool stuff, there are so few of those old timers left, it's a shame this generation won't ever get to hear those stories....

About ten years ago I got a ride in the B17 "Liberty Belle" as it came through on fund raising tour. It was expensive, but I didn't mind (wife paid). We flew around for 50 minutes-taxi to landing. A year later when flying through northern Illinois it had a on-board fire and landed in a farm field. Unfortunately it was spring, and the field too muddy for fire trucks to get to it. It burnt down.

Wow, until you mentioned about a low pass, when I looked at the picture, I thought the boys were running to the airplane that was sitting on the beach. Only after looking again did I see it is only 5' off the ground.
