Joy of WWII era bombers

Not at all Dreamland related...

This last weekend there were a pair of B-somethings (B-17s, B-29s I can't tell) that flew over my ranch in Phoenix. I'm in the flightpath for KSCF and usually am subjected to Gulfstreams and other small jets, close enough to read the numbers.

But man those big, multi prop birds are beautiful. And quiet! Seems like they're traveling at a crawl, compared to the jets. These big Bs were complete with vintage paint and emblems. You could see the reflections from the gun pods and barrels.

Very, very impressive.
