Memphis Belle: B-17 Flying Fortress


Last week The Memphis Belle B-17 Flying Fortress 
was at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Oh.
For $475 you could go for a flight in this monster, 
Unfortunately I did not have the money to do so, 
nor was i able to get off work in time to take a tour around or inside the plane. 
These pictures were taken through the fence,
since i did not want to completely miss the behemoth.







The Liberty Foundation operates this piece of history
and its currently in the beginning of a 50 state tour.
They also have a P-40 along with this aircraft and I unfortunately miss that also.
If you would like to see The Memphis Belle visit The Liberty Foundation
to see if it will be making a stop near you.

Luckily for everyone in Cincinnati another B-17 will be back in September thanks to the B-17 Tour.
