OK, Gang, here’s a GREAT flash from the past video we put together from some very old early VHS tapes. In Part 1 of 3 here, we began the process of preparing to fly our Boeing B-17 home from the Flying Tigers Museum in Paris, Texas, which I purchased from Jr. Burchinal back in 1985!
The Weeks Air Museum wasn’t even open yet, and in this video, I was only 32 years old at the time. The airplane hadn’t flown in years, and in Part 1, we arrive to check everything out in anticipation of flying out of the dirt airstrip it was on and over to the public airport on the other side of town. As you will see, we dealt with a few “issues” along the way!
The last two days before we flew the B-17 out of the Flying Tigers Museum on the morning of May 6th, the Moon was FULL! Decades later, a full moon became a sign that “my Friends” were looking down on me!
I have to admit, I’ve had a pretty cool life! Welcome to my World!
