Now this is something you don’t see every day, a B-17 heavy bomber making a landing at your local airport. This aircraft along with cars, trucks, tractors, steam engines, and helicopters visited the coast over the weekend for the annual Dream Machines rally. As happens on the coast, it was overcast, but it was fun.

The B-17 is called “Sentimental Journey” and is based in Arizona with the Commemorative Airforce. An aside, just one of these things is hugely noisy, I can’t imagine what it would have sounded like 60+ years ago for 1,000 airplane raids…
