I recently request submissions for images to be used to create a new header graphic for the B-17 Flying Fortress registry. The response was amazing and some beautiful pictures were submitted. After going through them I have selected my three favorite images and I have created mock up header graphics with them. Now it's your turn. Vote for which header you like the best and that will become the 2014 B-17 Registry header. So let your voice be heard and vote today!

Have not voted yet; wish you could alternate at least two of them during the year. But that's probably a programming nightmare (or maybe not <says the non-computer nerd> :D )

Can I vote for what's on there now?!

"Retract" the extended gear leg using Photoshop on Candidate #3, and use that image. Just my opinion.

The Tora, Tora, portion of the CAF's annual airshow always makes my eyes water a bit and brings me as close to any 'real'
wartime action as I'd ever like to be! Win or lose the contest, but don't lose the war.

I vote for photo # 1 (I am actually in that photo as I attended the Collings Foundation's Bomber Camp this year, and was in the nose of 909 with Taigh Ramey when we were on that bomb run).
