I suspect a good portion of the members here have seen the Aluminum Overcast or flown on it but I wanted to post the pics for those who have not had the opportunity to see it.

I was all by myself inside it and while standing over the bomb rack looking at the ground I could not help but wonder what it must have been like taking Flak at 20,000ft unpressurized while enemy fighters were raining bullets down on you. At the height of the war they were losing 140 B-17's a DAY each one with a crew of 9. Hard to imagine! It is truely a flying musuem.

Enjoy the pics!
