My youngest Son and I took a ride in the B-17 G Nine O Nine for Fathers Day 2011.

I also rode the Nine O Nine in 2003 with my oldest Son, again for Fathers Day.
What a blast doing a once in a life time event twice!

Interesting, my Step Dad flew the B-17 "OH Kay" and my Mother was a "Rosie the Riveter" at Boeing during the war.
