WWII Airplanes

There were some WWII airplanes at our local airport recently.  One of them was a B-17, which is The Man’s favorite plane.  So of course we needed to go see them.  There was also a P-51 Mustang.  There was supposed to be a B-24 but it was missing.  It was fine, we had a great time seeing the two planes that were there.  We got to go inside the B-17 as it was during WWII.  There wasn’t a lot of space.  If I was any bigger I wouldn’t have fit, so I’m glad it was now and not a month from now.  I can’t imagine what it was like flying missions in one of these.  The men who flew them were incredible brave.
