There's a regional airport about 2 miles from my house (KFTW), , so I can get good approach pics of about any private plane. Most of the traffic is private jets, but I saw this making a few passes today. I'd post the pics I took, but this is a better one:

IMAGE REMOVED AS IT WAS LINKED TO ANOTHER SITE AND THAT IS STILL BANNED HERE!

I did a little research at http://www.aerovintage.com/b17loc.htm and found that this is "Chuckie". Very cool to see one of these in the air  Grin

It's always good to see unfamiliar aircraft around. Where I live, you don't see much else apart from Cessnas, or airliners at 30 odd thousand feet. Have had a few interesting types come over though, most noteably, a Sea Vixen Smiley
