B17G flying Fortress Bomber flight

I can still hardly believe it!! This morning at 8:00 AM, I found out that not only could we view a WWII bomber at the Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. airport, BUT they were offering rides and had two seats still available. An hour later Sarina and I were strapped in a WWII B17G flying fortress bomber and took off for an amazing 30 minute flight!!! It is only one of a few still in existence today. I will be posting another blog with all the details when we get home.Here are a couple of pictures. What an absolutely unforgettable experience for both of us. It felt like we were going on a real bombing mission!!! We survived and the pictures to come will prove our ability to operate the machine guns from inside the plane while in flight. We were allowed to move around throughout the plane while we were flying up to 3000 feet. Stay tuned for more to come!!!! Bob VE6BLD and Sarina VE6QEN
