Tell the announcer to shut the fuck up I want to hear those Pratt n' Whitneys Roar!

@acepilot1997 B-17's had Wright's not Pratt's

[CzapigaKielbasa]

What we need to know is which B-17's these are.

[warbirdguy86]

@CzapigaKielbasa The B-17's in no particular order are Nine-o-Nine, Movie Memphis Belle, Texas Raiders, Sentimental Journey, Thunderbird, Aluminum Overcast, Liberty Belle and Yankee Lady.

damn, that announcer needs to shut the hell up. blab blab blab blab blabl

[paladinCP]

Awesome! The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the goober running his mouth the whole time...some people just don't get it do they?

[popsnacks2]

sad tht liberty belle recently crashed..

@himmler251 With a name like Himmler I doubt your grandpappy was in an American bomber when he died. Becoming American? Sure am. I can think, feel, say, and do what I want, and I'll be damned if I need your approval to do so. THAT is American. If this announcer wants to blabber on thats his business. I don't need to stop my day and have an afternoon of reflection because some asshole wants to read outloud. You don't like it? Go to China, they got lots of rules on free speech there.

[himmler251]

@0HippyHunter0 you need to show some fucking respect for the young men who died in these aircraft, my grandpa was killed in a b17 over germany, you are what has become the typical american, showing no love or respect for our country or our troops fuck off

[0HippyHunter0]

@himmler251 You'd be guessing wrong, son. Talking during lights out? How inappropriate of me! Though I'd never talk through Taps at a funeral, thats just rude. On the other hand, if I want to talk through this poem, the Anthem, the flag raising, or wtf ever else, thats my right, and you can go fuck yourself for trying to tell me what to do. I don't give two flying fucks if you think respect is due, you don't run me, son. If you don't like it, don't read your poetry around me.

[himmler251]

@0HippyHunter0 sooo im guessing you speak during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and TAPS??? or during a Prayer??? its called RESPECT SHOW SOME

[0HippyHunter0]

@himmler251 So, anytime that one breaks out reading a poem, all others must be silent? No. This guy needs to find a more opportune time to read his poem. Or put it up on his website. I don't really care, I dont' go to airshows to listen to some announcer prattle over the sound of those machines.

[ad356]

WOW that sound. imagine the sky being filled with those aircraft. sadly liberty belle is no longer with us :(

[himmler251]

@0HippyHunter0 hmmm its a poem written by a b17 pilot in honor of those air crews, its almost like a prayer, in actuality the crowd needs to shut the fuck up
