I was at my daughter's softball game in Marlborough, Massachusetts today when I was a B17 fly over the field. It was probably around 11am. Anybody know more about it? Stephen |

The B-17 is on tour with a B-24 and a two seat P-51 Mustang. The planes were in Hyannis on Wed-Fri. Check out the Collins Foundation website for info on their tour and future sites. It was amazing to watch them land and then take off after tours. |

If you get the chance go for the tour. They came through my area a few years back. I went and took lots of photos, but I wish I had a video camera. While in the B24 there were 2 gentlemen from the area that took their relatives on tours. One was a navigator for a B24 and the other was the bombadier on a B17. Their stories were amazing to hear. On a side note I first found out about them being in the area when the B17 flew over my house. I hope that you being at your daughters softball game didn't have the same problem I did in my excitement to see it flying over. I blerted out "holy s… it's a B17". At that point I heard my neighbors 2 young boys, who were eating supper behind thier open kitchen window, laughing at my choice of words. Yeah their momma wasn't too happy with that. Anyway I hope you get to enjoy the planes. |

I live near Ypsilani Michigan & see a B-17 & B-25 fly over on a regular basis. I've also had the privledge of flying on both of them, a truely awesome experience & one that makes you appreciate the sacrifice the WWII airmen gave. |

thanks all for the info. I tried getting a quick photo with my lousy cell phone camera, but it doesn't really give the full effect. stephen |
