Default (Not RV) Photos from B-17 Ride, ADS

I decided to treat my stepfather to a ride in the B-17 "Liberty Bell" that made a tour stop at ADS this weekend. He remembers extended family building B-17s when he was 6-7 years old and had never had a warbird ride. I decided that he needed someone to keep him from having too much fun by himself, so I went along too.

Attached are some web-formatted photos of flight. I'll have higher-quality ones soon. The last one is from the radio room, where the top skin is left open.

Definately one fun ride.

Nice pictures Doug! I got to ride with them about six weeks ago, just before they sent the Liberty Bell off to a paint shop to be re-done. Looks like they are back in action! I loved that radio room hatch too!
