Time to play......Know Your Airplanes!

Maybe we can even keep this going. Who know what this is? It flew over me today. It's WWII, I know that much...a bomber I think. Could here it commingbefore we could see it. Snapped a quick shot w/ the 2.0 camera.<br><img height="768" src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z307/stumanfu55/DSC01896.jpg" width="1024" alt="image"><br>

B-17?<br><br>Robert

Is that a guess, because I don't know the answer. I was thinking B-17, B-24.......no clue.

I'm pretty sure that it is.<br><br>Robert

It's a B-17, for sure.<br><br>Greg

<p>Yup - I'm more than pretty sure - there's absolutely no doubt about it (I'm an aviation buff too....) In fact, I'm 99% certain thatit's a B-17<u>G</u>.</p><p>Greg</p>

Cool. Thanks Guys! What's the G stand for?

Most American aircraft are given letter suffixes for series modifications. The -G was the most numerous of the B-17's, and was the variant that was mostused in WWII.<br><br>Greg

ok, thanks again!

I love planes. I don't know much about them, but love them just the same.<br>Shot this pic of a crop duster a few days ago. It was so close. I just LOVE the sound of the engine. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_heartbeating.gif" alt="image"><br>It was spraying the corn across the road, but I was sitting next to the soybeans. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/IMG_3873.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br><br>
