The Chance of lifetime...

Okay, So I guess I haven’t done this in awhile…. Time to get back in the swing of things… Let’s see; what’s new? Not much I guess. Got married, moved into the new house, didn’t get that damn coaching job I was hoping for… But it’s ok… If it was meant to be it would have happened. Spent most of the day today at the airport. Dad got the B-17 to come to Urbana for a few days. While it is up here they had some people come in to do the 100hr inspection on it. Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, by Thursday it should be done and it will be giving rides Thursday morning. My brother & myself should be flying on one of the flights. My grandfather bought us rides. He also donated $2000 so that they can get some bombs for the plane…Mind you, they are not REAL bombs… I think they are made out of some fancy styro-foam…damn expensive styro-foam. It will be quite the adventure to ride in it… pretty scary really… but if thousands of aircrews could board the same plane 61 years ago, then I think I can suck it up… Out of 12, 731 B-17’s built during the war, there are only roughly 50 left in the entire world. Of those 50, less than 14 are airworthy. Hopefully the weather will not be to bad the next following days, as well as on Thursday. I plan on wearing the ole flight suit, but it depends on how hot it will really get I suppose. Keep your fingers crossed that we make it back okay!
Okay… I’m really actually pretty damned tired today and I seem to only be rambling about complete frigging nonsense that no one really gives a flying fuck about anyways….alright, I’m out-adam
