B-17 Flying Fortress Yankee Lady 4K | Crawl Around Inside During Flight

Crawl through one of World War II's most memorable airplanes - the B-17 Flying Fortress. Out of 12,700 produced, only a handful are still flying today. Experience a bumpy ride on this vintage work horse of the U.S. Army Air Force in 4K!

B17: *flies after years* A WW2 Luftwaffe veteran:"ah shit,here we go again"

[@noahsawesomevids422]

lol 😂

[@williamm374]

They were children flying these in WW2. Yet they took the challenge and saved the free world. It's that simple.

La URSS de Stalin salvó tu mundo "libre". Todo lo demás es pura propaganda de Hollywood. 😂

[@RifleReport]

Had the opportunity as a kid to fly in my favorite aircraft the B-17 at an air show. Something I’ll never forget. Thanks mom ❤️

[@5crassrocker]

I envy you! my favorite movie growing up was Memphis Belle. made me fall in love with the B:17

[@sprocket9200]

Well done! I got a chance to ride 909 6 months before it crashed, still gives me chills! Much love to the guys and girls that keep these ol machines flying and even more to the crews that manned them when they were new.

I got to ride in aluminum overcast about 7 years ago what an amazing ride it was while the flight was only about 15 min you could almost get a glimpse of what those brave young men endured

[@Lets_play_games135]

I also took a ride in the Aluminum Overcast at Lunkin Airport

[@ajwatson9800]

In 2019 my grandfather took me on a ride in the aluminum overcast best thing I’ve ever experienced ever highly recommended

[@georgematteucci3278]

Absolutely beautiful! I really miss the B-17 909 they are the backbone of a forgotten generation of heroes.

[@harbinger_1984]

I bet flying these War machines in current times really makes them happy... No air raids, no fighting for your life just good old peaceful sky.

[@joshuat20k]

Great video!

[@dougmercer6386]

I flew on the Yankee Lady a few 5:40 years back when it came up to London Ontario for a day of rides. I had kind of decided it was a little pricey considering also the exchange to US dollars but then when it arrived in London it came in right over our house, and I was hooked. They managed to get me on the last flight of the day.. worth every penny. I sat in the bombardier nose section for landing.

[@thurin84]

awesome! ill never be able to ride one, so this is the next best thing!

[@FreshGroundPictures]

Thanks for watching!

[@noahsawesomevids422]

Coool I love old school planes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mullet1024]

Outstanding!!!

[@FreshGroundPictures]

Thanks again!

[@hrdley911]

Flew on Yankee Lady a number of years ago. She was a blast, although I really liked the 909. Sadly, these planes get more rare by the day, just like the brave men who flew them. Thanks for the video!

[@Pinoy_Central_Official_Backup]

Killing Machine! Honor in the skies! B17!

[@NotSpitfirez-2202]

Flying high!

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Wow, my dad was a gunner in one of those in the pacific theater.

[@Beun007]

So, they suffered uncomfortable situations in planes like this for at least my country... LEST WE FORGET!!!

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

Love these planes but will never ride in one after that last crash.

[@notoriginal5021]

Великолепный самолет. Хотел бы я увидеть его в живую.

[@fluffytoaster2099]

Not gonna lie one day i want to be in a flying b17

[@fluffytoaster2099]

Imagine how cool it would be to chill in the front of the plane just looking around and through the bombing sight thingy

[@Mosely2007]

I flew on it with grandson. Wonderful exrience he wont forget. Its on my channel ed Ann Arbor

[@craigw.scribner6490]

I'm amazed you were allowed to sit in the nose during landing. Great vantage point, though!

[@pranavmaiya4386]

Imagine a German veteran seeing this Get those anti aircraft batteries up and runnin

[@MegaDeansy]

Did these planes have heating??

[@06RedfireGT]

No. Crews operating these aircraft in combat wore special heated clothing to keep them warm at altitude.

[@kamicj3522]

If the third ww came they should use these again, forget the jets, but make them better, but hopefully there is no war

[@REthanSKelly]

Anyone know what the yellow containers at 0:35 are ?

[@toastedjoe1013]

Oxygen

[@craigw.scribner6490]

Oxygen Tank for Ball Turret Gunner (I think).

[@alnaseemhamis1987]

I'm a ball turret Gunner

Congratulations,you have got one of the worst jobs in us Air force

[@DaMastaSkullFox]

unfortunately ruined by the music

[@spawnofstamos2737]

Music ruins this otherwise excellent video

[@Beun007]

Right, this music doesn't completely fit the video...

[@craigw.scribner6490]

@@Beun007 Easy to fix that--otherwise, great video, although it would have benefitted at times with a wider angle lens. Pretty cramped in there!

[@eagle7757]

Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved by Grace, John 3:16, KJV...........

[@jltb5283]

And this has what to do with a B17? Jesus would have the good mannors to add his comments in the correct area - perhaps a KZbin video about religion...

[@ian4846]

@@jltb5283 not a f’ing clue maybe they’re trying to say it’s a miracle that it runs?
