| Restored B-17 named the Aluminum Overcast |
 |
| U.S. Navy bi-planes |
Our weekend outing was to a neighborhood vintage aircraft display at Felts Field in Spokane, Washington. There were many restored war planes, including a B-17 from WWII. For the right price you could even take a flight in several of the planes. Years ago, Mr. Mac was treated to a flight in this very same B-17 .. can you believe he opted to take the flight instead of celebrating my 30th birthday?? .. His loyalty was swayed by this scantily clad ruby aluminum beauty ;)

Keep your eyes on Mr. Mac!
COLOR DILEMMA
Yellow or red—which shall it be?
Red for you and yellow for me?
Perhaps you’d rather have yellow instead—
Which leaves me, of course, with handfuls of red!
Whichever hue you decide to choose,
I’ll take the other—no one will lose!

Dear Mrs. Mac,
I doubt Mr. will do the same error once more.
He sure knows a real treasure by now!
Marvellous planes.
Must let Gunnar take a peak.
these planes are so neat mrs. mac.
they bring back memories to me. when dad golden was in the air force it was a daily occurrence to hear planes flying the skies.
where we live now, it is a rare occasion to hear engines in the sky...in fact the only time we do is if the hospital helicopter is flying an emergency patient to the hamilton hospital....hamilton is 33 miles from welland.
really great ruby tuesday mrs. mac
I can see you guys had fun, M&M! Those planes are sooooo pretty.
For sure what ever you do, don't let Mr. Mac get himself a motorcycle. Unless it has a buddy seat for you and a sidecar for Nathan. Otherwise he'll be going all kinds of places without you.
For Mrs. Jim's birthday one year I got her the "Deluxe Package" ride on a yellow (single winged) T-6 Texan Warbird trainer. It was out of Galvestong Texas and they flew along the Gulf Coast Line.
They did loop-top-loops, flew upside down, etc. She rode up front and got to operate the landing gear.
Her brother was killed less than a month before she was born. He was a P-38 pilot, flying over Italy in WWII.

I love the historical journeys you've been taking and sharing! Wow, I'd have been tempted by that B-12 too and I couldn't care less about the buxom beauty! ;-)
Many hugs..........
Diane
