Got to fly in Sentimental Journey back in 2010, great flight! Was in two seat nose section, Navigator's seat for take off then switched with the other guy for bombardier seat for landing.

I saw the Sentimental Journey in person several years ago and was impressed by its size !

My father told me how terrifying he felt, hearing the roar of the "Fliegenden Festungen", when several hunderts of them came to bomb his hometown (Kassel).

i love how its only rich old people that can fly or enjoy old aircraft because they believe we are not worthy of the responsibility god forbid a 20 or 30 something year old own an old aircraft

I cannot get over watching this enough. Awesome!

I would have rather heard the plane than listen to the guy talking about football

Several years ago, we were in Arizona visiting family. My son, 12 year old grandson and I went to the Air Museum, IIRC, in Tucson. This majestic War Bird was there and my son and grandson went aboard. I have some great photos of them inside. One is of my grandson standing behind the Waist .50 cal Browning. I was able to reach out and touch that polished aluminium skin. I was recovering from a hip replacement and didn't dare try to climb into that beautiful bird.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. Maybe next time, if it's there, I'll make an attempt to enter. So great a piece of Americana.

I have friend on Facebook. He loves these aircraft. His father flew B- 24s in the Pacific.

Same engine type that powered the Sikorsky CH 34 Choctaw.

Anyone notice the F14 Tomcat in the background?

I got to fly on a B 17 in Sugar Land TX 20 + years ago. I hung onto the 50 cal at the waist gunners window. I won't be forgetting this anytime soon… God bless the men who fought for us and who died for us in these planes.

Sentimental Journey is the Iconic B-17 representative. And an excellent job she does as well.

I'm familiar with the sights and sounds of this beautiful Flying Fortress. Had the honor of riding in her several years ago. A moving experience, since my dad was a B-17 pilot.
@stulynn2005
I recommend a flight on Sentimental Journey to everyone who ever wanted to experience the feeling of a B17

My grandson is 9 he and I just went to the Yankee Airforce Museum. They have a B17 and a B 25 that you can fly on. Next summer he will be tall enough and we are going. The B 17 flies over my house. We saw them start up ,fly, land and be parked in the hanger. You could reach out and touch it.
