Interesting "Liberty Bell" flyover
Wed Feb 25, 2009 11:52 am
Didn't have my camera, but about 5:45 PM 02/13/09 (last Friday). Liberty Bell, the Don Brooks B-17G, flew over while I was filling the gas tank at a local station. The guy next to me (a young guy) says "what the H$ll is that". I told him what it was and if he had an extra $430 bucks he could go down to Peachtree Dekalb Airport and get a 30 minute ride on a 64 year old WWII Bomber. He said "I don't have that kind of money but my father-in-law would absolutely love it". Hope the guy showed up!
On Sunday evening about dusk "Liberty Bell" flew over (going back to Canton Air port I suppose) and there must be propane opperated waist guns on her, cause someone was shooting them or I'm going daffy.

Propane guns? Do they have those?

No one is going daffy! There is a propane gun mounted in the right waist window and they were testing it on the flight from Peachtree-Dekalb back to Cherokee County Airport. I've "fired" it, and it does make some noise, not to mention a very nice muzzle flash!!

Now I wanna see some air to air of that! Imagine somebody with a 109 or maybe a FW-190 on the tail of LB!
