WOW

What a great bunch of photographs!

The one's of the B-17 gatherning remind me of the old days around Hemet, Chester, Paso Robles, Porterville to name a few. When I was the ripe age of six or seven I would see that many B-17's lined up to go and drop retardant on fires. I can remember one fire we had 21

air tankers parked at Hemet by sun set. I think every B-17 that was tanked was parked there along with PB4Y2's, DC-4's, C-119's, and S-2's.
