    Liberty Belle visits Dallas!

    This weekend, the B-17 "Liberty Belle" will be at Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison...I dunno what times they're gonna be taking off (Sat and Sun flights...I'll be goin probably on Saturday), but I plan on bein there for at least one of them! Can't afford to fly in her, but I can at least drool from the ground and take lots of pics.

    Anyone else in the DFW area plannin on goin?

    Tell you what RA.....

    I know we missed out on meeting up at the Alliance air show. If I stay in town, I'll let you know and I'll go out there. Hopefully we could go at the same time. Thanks for posting this. I would never have known.

    The world is small...last year I was inside Liberty Belle in Duxford, England!


    ...in memory of my friend Joe Owsianik, a former right waist gunner from B-17G, 42-97159 from 2ndBG 20th Sqdn, who was forced to bail out on Aug. 29th, 1944 over my country. Joe passed away on Novemer 1, 2010.

    Yeh I posted a video from channel 8 on the Liberty Belle on another thread. They took up a B-17 pilot, it was quite moving. Some good shots from inside and out.
