Memphis Belle



We went to the Air Show at St Cloud today. Amazingly there was a Flying Fortress (B-17) which you could fly in. We settled for a walk-through - T was rather disappointed on that compromise, but we were amazed. Still quite thrilling though. They make a lot more fuss of war Veterans here; a bunch of real life heroes were there to chat about their past.

Surprisingly, there was also a Luftwaffe vet, and, what I suspect, though this would have to be proved, a contingent of the local Neo-Nazis (quite big in Minneapolis).

You can see the pix on my facebook page.
