Wartime Mission: Heavy Bomber bristling with armament with aerodynamic features. The first B-17s went into combat in 1941 by the British Royal Air Force. In the Pacific theater, they earned a deadly reputation with the Japanese and were legendary for their ability to return home after taking brutal poundings. They served in almost every theater of World War II and dropped over 640,000 tons of bombs. The B-17G was produced in greater numbers than any other B-17 model with a total of 12,731 aircraft produced by Boeing, Vega, and Douglas. Our Sentimental Journey is 1 out of less than ten B-17Gs around the world still flying today. Please use this link to the original author/content owner: Commemorative Air Force
B-17 Sentimental Journey flying over Fountain Hills
Sentimental Journey is the nickname of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber based at the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa, Arizona. They fly over Fountain Hills on the weekends on way out to Saguaro Lake Reservoir and back over McDowell Mountains. This has to be on everyones to do list when they come to Valley of the Sun. These photos were taken on Saturday with my Nikon D5500 camera with the 300mm lens. I had the setting set on scene and sports mode that gave me six frames per second. I took the photos right from my patio. Enjoy!
