As an ex-RAF type from way back (ground-crew not air-crew), I have 
had the pleasure(?) of working and flying on the following:-
DC2, DC3, Hudson, Balliol, Chipmunk, Mosquito, LA-1, Shackleton MK1 & 
2, Vulcan, Valiant, Victor, Canberra P3 & PR4, PT-19, Globemaster, 
Neptune, Sunderland, and a few others..

The best memory of commercial flying was a QUANTAS Super 
Constellation , best private ride was in the wicker seat of a 
DeHavilland Rapide, followed by my soloing in a Tiger Moth

But the sight and sound of the B17 that flew around the Tri-Cities 
for the Hydroplane races last month was the most recent... it threw 
my mind back to my early youth when the 8th Air Force was busy 
bombing Germany from the AF base next to our back yard...

Dammit... now see what you've done  <Grin>

If I wake up in the morning, and I hurt, it means that I'm still 
alive !!
