    Okay, I realize this is the aircraft pic thread. I have no pics. But I have to say, all weekend the B17 Flying Fortress, B24 Liberator, and P51 Mustang have been flying over Ft. Collins. My wife, God love her, runs out EVERY time they fly over. She is stunned that people walking the street don't even look up. But, that has always amazed her. After a lifetime in aviation, I guess you just know the sound of a Merlin, or the song of the Consilidated B24 of Boeing B17. Hey, some people today know where to find Pokemon, good on you!
    Once, last evening, we were on the deck listening to the country song "You should have seen it in color". Well, as we were listening to that song, they flew over. So, yeah, we saw it in color. Much better than the history books, or TV shows.
    We've been to Oshkosh for many years, so we've seen these aircraft, and many others that 99.999% of Americans will never see, but it never gets old. You can watch documentaries, read books, or just simply look up now and then for your history.
    Life is good.
