Glad to see that it's still flying! It made a visit to my local airport many years ago ... way before the digital cameras. www.ipernity.com/doc/indycaver/17036081

On Christmas Eve 2022 my brother and I will take a ride in the bombardier/navigator position of this beauty.
I have to do it before they are all only static museum displays!
I haven't flown in a prop driven aircraft (or a WWII bomber) before.
One off my bucket list. ; )

I found a vid on youtube of the first flight that day where I'm in the bombardier's seat with my American flag shirt.

Doris Day was a beauty too but the bombshell blonde on this bomber is Betty Grable. ; )

There is also a B-29 Superfortress with the name "Sentimental Journey" at the Pima Air Museum.

I guess the name was used often because of the hit song that Doris Day recorded in 1944.
