Checking out a piece of history

Today at lunch, a couple of coworkers and I went out on the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (formerly Jeffco Airport) and took a tour of the Sentimental Journey, a Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress.

Wiz has a vast store of knowledge on airplanes and WWII history, which made for a wonderful and educational half hour. I even walked across the catwalk in the bomb bay which was a bit nerve-wracking as the bomb bay doors were open. I could imagine the wind rushing in when the plane was airborne and got a chill.
