I like the perspective and composition of the 3rd pic, Ian - nice one. The B-17 is among my top WWII "heavy iron" favs.

[Ian Warren]

Pete , you will love this entire aircraft in its entirety .. the Legend ... oh hang on .. where is Doug ...

[IslandBoy77]

Is that the G version with the chin turret?

[Ian Warren]

Only the G variant .. many don't realize it was a Douglas build addon to the F model due to combat reports not having frontal protection , course then added to all variants G taken its place as the leader , I would have liked to see a F model by A2A .. B-17 Pilot cant be chosey .. Pete , this is a most highly recommended by me with a notch up ta the next level .

This and the B377 would be my two all-time favorites, the B377 I like a tad more than the B17... but only due to it having a Flight Engineer to look after the engines

[Ian Warren]

So i guess we will see you your later afternoon / for us this evening today Tim .. NZ North Island Pacific B-17 Bomber Bases .... Tiki Tour
