davedlg 0 #9 June 9, 2006 The B-17 “Aluminum Overcast.” was flying around Denver this morning. I was landing at centennial and the tower advised "You are cleared to land runway 17 Right, traffic is a B-17 on final." Never heard that before...

freakflyer9999 1 #10 June 9, 2006 I had a buddy who was a member of the Museum and had made arrangements to jump it until they blew an engine. They were willing to let a few of us go up on their way to a show and let us out over Granbury or another suitable location. They had the plane at the Carswell Airshow a few weeks ago, but I didn't talk to anyone about jumping it. My buddy moved to NJ and isn't associated with the organization anymore, so I don't know anyone there anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also are not too far from Houston. This museum has all kinds of cool planes....It is really a club for rich guys to house their toys. And I hear they have 50 or 60 planes sitting in boxes waiting restoration.......When I lived in Galveston about ten years ago, the engine noise from the their B-17 would rattle the entire house.
