A "Flying Fortress" just flew over our house. A WWII B-17 bomber, now owned by The Experimental Aircraft Assocation. They call her the Aluminum Overcast, (aluminium to you good folks), and I think she is only one of three such aircraft still airworthy. The association takes her to regional airfields around the U.S. and offers both ground tours and flights. This weekend, the plane is flying out of Briscoe Field, about twenty miles away from here.
These wonderful aircraft flew many a mission out of England during WWII. History buffs may wish to visit
