This week, the Confederate Air Force's B-17G 'Sentimental Journey' is in town. What a lovely aircraft! For five bucks, you can walk through. For $450, you can take a ride. I did the walk-through. It's amazing how cramped for space it is inside this aircraft. I can't imagine getting around in it at fifty degrees below zero, in a bulky flight suit, with a walk-around oxygen bottle, while fighting off fighter attack and trying to maintain my footing despite turbulence, prop-wash, and flak. All the more reason to take our hats off to the men who flew this majestic plane.
