Excellent aviation day and B-17

I'm finaly getting back in the groove in the USA.



Today was a total aviation day as I got together with my flying buddy and we flew a C-172 from Cincinnati ( HAO ) airport to Columbus Ohio State University ( OSU ) field.

Here is a 1/32 scale SE-5 he built.

Upon landing and taxiing to the ramp, we see this B-17 starting its engines. I got out and photographed the EAA Aluminum Overcast B-17G ( N5017N ).
