Its surprisingly roomy for a gun turret. Even a Chief would fit.

Excellent! That had to be fun. We get a B-17 come through here once a year but I've never gone up in it yet. I might get a chance next month when it returns.
I did take a spin in this not long ago.

That plane has so much history it is chilling to think about it. You have to have been like a kid in a candy shop. How great for you. Enjoy the fine memories.

Once again - AWESOME!!! I would love to see more video.
Just the sense of history had to be overwhelming. Do you know the background of that plane? When was it built? What (if any) theater did it serve in? How many bombing runs?

She never left the continent. The biggest reason she survived at all is that she was taken by an aviation vendor as a test platform for avionics. She was sold to a "farmer" in the early 50's where she sat derelict for 20+ years.
