not sure if its the same one, but a b17g usually flies in every month or two offering rides...would love to do it myself but way to expensive for me
Thanks,, If He circles again, I'll try and get a picture or two..
Its worth triple what they charge.Quote:

Anyone see the B2 stealth bomber flying over Denver about a month ago? I can;t recall the exact date, was on a Sunday during a Broncos game. Was flying low and slow making wide banking turns.
I was at that game and it was awesome when it came over. I managed to get a picture on my cell phone but it didn't turn out very good. It passed over at the end of the National Anthem. [Wow2]Quote:

I often see a P-47 Thunderbolt fly over my house in Parker, but I can't find out where it's from. None of the airports around here will 'fess up to knowing anything about one. There's no mistaking the shape of the fuselage and the wings, the sound of the engine, and the speed of that sucker, it flat moves right along. I'd just like to see it up close.
There is a Sea Fury that flies out of Centennial airport. Wing is similar...never heard of a P-47 around here, but if there is one, I'd love to see it too!
Sea Fury huh? I suppose it could be one of those, I haven't gotten a real good look at it after all. Sumbeech is fast, I'll tell ya that.Quote:

I was out changing the oil in Frau Quibs car when I saw the B-17 heading south. There’s no mistaking the sound of those radial engines!Quote:

My wife and I were sitting around the house the other day and I saw a glimps of it out the window and my first thought was it was a Slurry Bomber going to a forest fire or refueling. But now I think it was the B-17 we saw. KILROY WAS HERE!. I should of known something was up because it was heading East.
