    Nine O Nine trip

    Well, on Saturday, my folks, and grandparents took me and foch up to New York. Turns out they had a early Christmas present for us. I have to get to class soon, but here our some photos from the flight.



    PS: If they're too big, can a mod resize them?

    WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!

    I took my trip on 9-0-9 back in 1994. Quite an experience isnt it? Now you must save your money and go on the B24.

    Very jealous! I saw Niine O Nine when she came to North Carolina back in 1994, but I have never flown in her.

    I will some day however.

    You should Adler, it's an awesome experience. By the way, the guy in the grey hoodie is me, my brother was the one taking the photos. I did get some shots with my camera phone though. I'll have more pictures uploaded later today.

    Very cool. In Dallas, we actually have a choice of B-24's to ride. You can ride WitchCraft with the Collins foundation or ride the Ol 927 at Cavanaugh Flight Museum. Of course, I have haven't rode either one.

    First sortie complete, top bloke !. Welcome to the 17 club. Looking forward to some more pics.

    Did you take the ear plugs out all ?....best time is a take off power setting , then you really do hear the full benfit from the Cyclone exhausts !!! (Its OK, glad you took the precaution)
    Cheers

    Someday, after the last college tuition payment is made, I'm going for a ride on that Fort!

    You couldn't have asked for a better present!

    Geedee, sorry, but I kept the ear plugs in for the trip. I still could hear the engines running though. As promised, I'll upload more photos. Sorry if they're too big, I don't have a way to resize them.
