B-17 sighting
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 5:32 pm
I sent this message to the "info" email address, so pardon the repeat anyone...
I was in Orlando today, visiting a park. As my wife and I were
leaving I heard a destintive prop sound. Living in Maryland most of my
life, I knew the sound of C-130's pretty good. And before I looked up,
I knew it wasn't a C-130. As I looked up I was amazed to see it was a
B-17. My wife wipped out the camera as soon as she could, and snapped
a photo. I had a photo attached to the email, but it wasn't much help.
I'm curious to find out which B-17 it was.
I knew that they have a few warbird museums south of here in the Kissemme area. But after looking at your site and a few other B-17 sites, I couldn't find any that were in the Florida area at this time. I remember two sets of star and stripes,
one on each wing. And when I look at the picture, I want to say the
tail looks to be painted yellow. I'd appreaciate any help in finding
out which one it was.
