Video of my ride in B-17 'Yankee Lady' on 06/12/2009 in Lebanon, TN. My mother recorded the videos of the airplane from the ground while I was in it, and I took the pictures from within the airplane. This video mostly consists of the ground videos of the airplane flying (I did not include the part of me exiting the airplane). The flight circled over Nashville a few times and returned back to Lebanon. This was one the greatest experiences in my life, and I will never forget it. I would like ...

Yankee Air Museum's restored B-17 Flying Fortress visited Asheville Regional Airport from May 29 through June 1. I got to go see it, take some video of it taxiing to parking, and take some pictures of the outside and inside of the plane. Flights in the aircraft were being offered, but sadly I'm not rich so I couldn't afford a flight (that would have been the coolest thing I've ever done though!). In case you were wondering, the song is Freestyler by Bomfunk Mc's. It's featured in a Song of ...

Last one, the landing. I got all of it this time! I also included a bit of the B-25 spinning down. It is amazing how quiet it gets when it finally shuts it's last engine off.
Part III of my B-17 flight. This is more of a collection of the random bits I picked up through the flight. A simulated bombing run, through the rear top gun port, the cockpit, and the front nose section.
This is the second clip from the flight. Unfortunately, I didn't take into account that four turbocharged Wright Cyclone engines, rated at 1200 horsepower, being recorded in 5.1 surround sound with 1080p video might overwhelm the video camera. Once I figured this out and knocked the settings down everything was fine. However, I missed the entire take off!!! Things to notice in this clip: Shadow of the B-17 crossing the highway and the B-25 Yankee Warrior.
If you listen closely, you will hear the pilot and co-pilot going through the tail end of their pre-flight checks. This video is the first of a few that I will have from my ride on the B-17G Yankee Lady. This video goes through engine start up and taxi to the end of the runway for take off.
