    Aluminum Overcast is in town. They were working hail damage issues last weekend.

    We had a B-17 land at our airport years back for an airshow and it had avionics issues. I got to go in and fix the issue, and get to play all over the aircraft, sit in the gunner seats, climb through the bomb bay, etc. That was hella fun.

    I took Little Byte onto base last week and we got to go through a C-5

    Col. xxxxxxxxx taxi'd(?) it from the hangar over to the line with us on board.
    I thought Little Byte was going to pee.


    I almost did

    It flew right over the house earlier today. I heard it and happened to catch it through one of the skylights and proceeded to geek out about it.
