Taking the focus off of Commercial and GA, here's a couple of videos to get you started with the B17.

Amazing how the more things change, the more they remain the same. A lot of what is said by the instructor is still applicable today.

Really makes you appreciate what those boys had to think about during a war mission. Besides the complexity of flying this great machine, they had to contend with so many other emergencies after being shot at and losing parts of the airplane. Truly amazing!

Thanks for posting, Warren.

So, who among the steam gauge lovers here will be the first to build a B17 sim? Jack?   ;D

LOL Mau, that's going to be a tight fit.

Is Peter making B-17 parts yet?

I'd love to do a B-26, my Father was in those in WWII
