“People have forgotten how cool and how simple flying is. It’s just man and his machine. It’s getting away and just enjoying life.”

A total of 12,732 B-17 Flying Fortress’s were produced between 1935 and May 1945. Of these 4,735 were lost in combat. Following WWII, the B-17 Flying Fortress saw service in three more wars. B-17’s were used in Korea, Israel used them in the war of 1948 and they were even used during Vietnam.
Today, fewer than 100 B-17 Flying Fortress airframes exist and fewer still are in airworthy condition. At one time, more than 1000 B-17’s could be assembled for mass combat missions, now less than 15 of Boeings famous bombers can still take to the sky.
Libery Belle is one of those B-17 Flying Fortress Bombers still flying. This past weekend Libery Belle made a rare stop in Hillsboro, Oregon to share it’s history, experience and timeless beauty. Flightline Fabrications was on hand to witness this great event, we hope you enjoy some of the videos we took!
Thomas Sanders has been photographically documenting WWII veterans for the last three years. His photographs capture a timeless subject with a unique personality and individuality. Sanders photos capture the a truly unique personal side of each veteran and a side of that veteran rarely seen by the public. Flightline Fabrications recommends you check out Sanders Faces of WWII, you will not be disappointed.

On a recent visit to Seattle, Flightline Fabrications had the one of a kind chance to visit the Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress under restoration in Boeing’s Plant #2. This visit included a complete behind the scenes guided tour and one of a kind day.
The Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress, known as T-Square 54, fought in the Pacific during World War II, flying 37 bombing missions with the 875th Bomb Squadron, 498th Bomb Group. The bomber was later converted to an aerial refueling tanker for the Korean Conflict.

Despite a steep learning curve and some harrowing instructional moments, Bryan Heim conquers a Cessna 172 and is cleared for takeoff into becoming a pilot.
Learning to fly may be every boy’s (and many girls’) dream, but flying a plane is the ultimate multitasking scenario and a serious venture. While controlling roll, pitch, and yaw, you must watch out for other aircraft and maintain a level flight. You are dealing simultaneously with wind and relative airspeed, with angle of attack, with the forces of power and load, weight and lift, thrust and drag. For most people, it is a new, and vastly accelerated, way of thinking. And unlike with ground transportation, you can’t just pull over to figure things out.
“Landing is the most challenging part of flying, I didnt even try!” said Heim. “It’s a skilled craft that can’t be fully explained unless you have actually landed a plane. You just have to practice again and again until you get it.”
“Next time I’m coming out with my new log book, I need more hours!” Heim smiled, “so you can bet I will be back!”

Need a new truck? A Butler, Missouri, car dealer named Mark Mueller is giving away an AK-47 фото невест порно with every new truck he sells, and the CNN reporter who interviews him throws every liberal cliche his way during her interview. However, it doesn’t faze Mueller for an instant! You’ll enjoy this video, a few seconds of it appeared on Fox, but the good stuff is on-line.

Next time, say it…
Scott Truitt noticed that as he traveled around the country, he would see military and other soldiers in airports. He wanted to thank them, but sometimes didn’t know exactly how to do it without both parties not feeling a little “awkward”. He knew they would appreciate it, but at the same time, didn’t know how to convey this.
