The men who flew those things in combat were real men. Taking that flight really puts those WWII books I've read in perspective. It was thrilling and sobering at the same time.

Here's a quick little HD video looking out over the bombardier's seat, but since the HD file sizes are huge, I edited for length to keep it's resolution.

It's 5mb, so saving it first might work best.



I have a ton of pics and could post more if you guys would be interested.
