Everything started fine and dandy, although it was quite cold and there was a light rain falling. Nothing that a venerable B-17 can't handle

...

And we were airborn our destination Seattle-Tacoma. A long flight laid before us

...

...

Nice view of Stevens-Anchorage over the co-pilots seat Grin

...

Once we reached Washington state, the fuel readings started having problems, and engine one began misfiring, and like a domino effect engine two started doing the same. Before we knew it engine three and four started the same.

...

My copilot declared an emergency with Seattle-Tacoma while I fought to keep our bird in the air. Systems began malfuncioning, and the hydraulics crapped out on us. Things were not looking good even though from outward appearances things looked normal.

...

Stay tuned for part two and the conclusion of Emergency B-17
