lol 😂

They were children flying these in WW2. Yet they took the challenge and saved the free world. It's that simple.

La URSS de Stalin salvó tu mundo "libre". Todo lo demás es pura propaganda de Hollywood. 😂

Had the opportunity as a kid to fly in my favorite aircraft the B-17 at an air show. Something I’ll never forget. Thanks mom ❤️

I envy you! my favorite movie growing up was Memphis Belle. made me fall in love with the B:17

Well done! I got a chance to ride 909 6 months before it crashed, still gives me chills! Much love to the guys and girls that keep these ol machines flying and even more to the crews that manned them when they were new.

In 2019 my grandfather took me on a ride in the aluminum overcast best thing I’ve ever experienced ever highly recommended

Absolutely beautiful! I really miss the B-17 909 they are the backbone of a forgotten generation of heroes.

I got to ride in aluminum overcast about 7 years ago what an amazing ride it was while the flight was only about 15 min you could almost get a glimpse of what those brave young men endured

I also took a ride in the Aluminum Overcast at Lunkin Airport

I flew on the Yankee Lady a few 5:40 years back when it came up to London Ontario for a day of rides. I had kind of decided it was a little pricey considering also the exchange to US dollars but then when it arrived in London it came in right over our house, and I was hooked. They managed to get me on the last flight of the day.. worth every penny. I sat in the bombardier nose section for landing.

Great video!

I bet flying these War machines in current times really makes them happy... No air raids, no fighting for your life just good old peaceful sky.

awesome! ill never be able to ride one, so this is the next best thing!

Flew on Yankee Lady a number of years ago. She was a blast, although I really liked the 909. Sadly, these planes get more rare by the day, just like the brave men who flew them. Thanks for the video!

Killing Machine! Honor in the skies! B17!

I'm amazed you were allowed to sit in the nose during landing. Great vantage point, though!

Not gonna lie one day i want to be in a flying b17

Imagine how cool it would be to chill in the front of the plane just looking around and through the bombing sight thingy

Великолепный самолет. Хотел бы я увидеть его в живую.

Did these planes have heating??

No. Crews operating these aircraft in combat wore special heated clothing to keep them warm at altitude.

Imagine a German veteran seeing this Get those anti aircraft batteries up and runnin

Anyone know what the yellow containers at 0:35 are ?

Oxygen Tank for Ball Turret Gunner (I think).

If the third ww came they should use these again, forget the jets, but make them better, but hopefully there is no war
