B-17 Bomber Flight, Bremerton WA

Flight aboard the Collings Foundation B-17 Flying Fortress "Nine-O-Nine". Nice shots flying through broken clouds and buzzing the airshow at the Tacoma Narrows Airport.

I love this, and although I'm blind, I really appreciated the sound. I'm usually not a fan of overlaid music, but in this case, it was well placed, and it didn't take anything away from the actual footage which is great.

If you like the sound on this one you will really enjoy my video of a flight on their B25 Mitchell. It has engine backfires, engine synchronization at take-off, and at the end the alarm bells to alert people to get seated for landing. Just check for my other videos or with my name as the keywords I also have one riding the B24.

@drdale1 How long have you toured the Collings Foundation planes? I've only seen Witchcraft, Nine O Nine and Betty Jane. Not to long ago they were in my town for the second time.

I suppose it was the early 90's when I first saw them. I missed my chance back then to ride in a B29. They owned the B-29 FiFi then It has since been sold and is not in flying condition. I don't think any B-29 is flying.

I have one of these planes in my garden, he fell out of the sky on my granpa's land in juli 1944

Where is that??

I am so proud to have an appreciation for these planes and the people who used them....it seems not many people my age do. (29)

@drdale1 Very cool! I didn't know they owned "Fifi" at one time. That's to bad Fifi isn't flying anymore. Maybe one day it will. I first learned about the Collings Foundation on the Military Channel remembering the red paint around Witchcrafts engine housings and the color of Nine O Nine, mainly the blue paint and the guy on the side. Some time later I learned the war birds were coming to town. To my surprise when I saw them I remembered the program and was really excited to see them in person.

Very cool. Would love to fly in one someday.

I first got to see the Nine-O-Nine back in 1986 here in Massachusetts.. This past September (2010) I saw it again.
