Boeing B-17 Bomber Tour
Sunday, April 3rd, 2005 (now with sound!)

Short wait to tour the Nine O Nine

View out the nose of the B-17 Flying Fortress

Navigator and Bombardier man the machine guns . . .

. . . when not plotting the course or dropping bombs

Flying Fortress cockpit

Looks alot like the left side

View out the pilots window

Forward view from top turret gunner position

View of starboard wing and engines from top turret

Nice glare viewing the tail between the machine guns

Entering the bomb bay area

Hand crank for bay doors or landing gear

Only skinny boys run through the bomb bay area

Former skinny boy plays with his knobs

Starboard side beyond the bomb bay area

Top glass removed for better view from top of aircraft

Much clearer view of tail from the moon roof

View of starboard wing and of L-39 warming up

Andy shoots down a Me-262 beyond the ball turret

Better the front line than a Ball Turret Gunner

View out the port waist gunner window

Exit hatch and storage area at the tail gunner spot

Andy investigates the ball turret position

Tail gunner's position looks rather tight

If you can't see thru the window, look thru the gun

Top glass panel removed visible from the back

It's a worker not a visitor climbing out the window

I get my own close up view of the ball turret

Looking up the open bomb bay doors

Front machine guns and a busy worker polishes

The tour line continues through the bomber

Andy needs only $400 to fly his first mission
