WARBIRDS AT REDDING JET CENTER

Many thanks to those that coordinated this visit of the two "Warbirds". It has been about 15 years since I stood next to a B-17. I remember clearly the sight and sound as the engines were started...I can still smell the oil and feel the rush of the air from the prop wash. I will never forget the sound of those radial engines.

B-24 PHOTOS

The many visitors are seen around the B-24 as it is being refueled for it's afternoon flight in Northstate skies. It's next destination was Crescent City, CA, and then North to Oregon and eventually Alaska.
