Great video, thanks for posting the link.

As far as where it was taken, I can't be positive, but it's quite possibly Mecham Field in Fort Worth, TX where Chuckie is based.

*edit* I sent the original response while still watching the video. After seeing it, it is definately Mecham Field. In the video you can easily tell that is it downtown Fort Worth that Chuckie flies over.

Wow the view from the bombardier's position looks fantastic, I hope I can snag a ride from that position someday.

Oh thats great footage of a B-17 ride !

It might mean making savings in other ways ~ but if you get the chance ~ take a flight in a B-17 and treasure the memory forever

And in doing so help Keep 'Em Flying !

Lynn: Are you sure you rode in a B-17. You say it was loud. Can't be cause I saw in The Mephis Belle movie those guys just sitting there talking to each other. If it came out of Hollywood it has got to be true. So if any of you other guys get a chance just leave your head sets behind, and just sit there and converse and drink tea.
