    Sorry about that Harrison, the pics are huge, and I'm clueless as to how to resize them.

    IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

    IF you have space, download this. Then you open the picture from your saved folder and click Ima butge then click, Resize/ Resample. On the right hand side you'll see measurements of like 1200x1600 but click 800x600 and then click OK. Then all you do is save and upload. It's Free BTW

    Outstanding present you got there!

    Understandable about the earplugs...but I bet you could still feel those engines!

    Nothing like going up in a bomber...there's just so much different about them than a fighter. You can get lost in thought, trying to imagine what it must have been like in one of those over Europe with freezing temps and the Luftwaffe and flak all around.

    It was Grau. I could still feel the engines, powerful stuff. I'm really grateful for having awesome parents.

    Hey Mr. Harley. Wow, what a coincidence! I love what you guys do! Keep it up!

    Hey GG, I didn't wear my earplugs at all, so I know what you mean when your talking about the engines firing up. They sure are powerful ones.
    Though, looking back on it, it does make you appreciate the luxuries of today's airplanes. I love the B-17, but I don't know if I would be able to be in a cramped space like that for 8 or 9 hours on end.
