I live in salem oregon, when they have the air show, every year, one of those flys directly over my house. One year i swear it was just about scrapeing the roof tops, the windows were rattleing, such an awsome site!
I'm also a fan of the B-17, my fav bomber of ww2. lol, back when pilots needed more skill, and less laser-guided stuff... Great vid, awesome craft! 5/5
How fantastic! I just found out my great uncle had been shot down over St. Nazaire in WWII. He was a ball turret gunner. Seeing your video was almost like virtually being there. I'm sending my family the URL.I love the audio...
