I had some extra cash, and a B-17, so...

I jumped out of it...AGAIN!

The Collings Foundation passed through Hollister last week, so I had to take another opportunity to jump out of the demned thing. This is the Nine-O-Nine that (I think) was at Rantoul last year.

Best part was I got to watch a bunch of friends do it for the first time! If you get the chance, take it...it's a great piece of history, and a pretty fun ride to boot. ;)

edited to add: crap, the pictures are too big to up load...I'll try to resize them and add later.

Awesome pics Dude! I got 20 minutes of left seat time in the B-17 "Aluminum Overcast" and it was a blast. Total flight time was about 1.5 hours.
I haven't jumped out of one but if there is a B-17, B-24, B-25 or any other bomber at WFFC I will definetly drop the cabbage to jump it.

You are supposed to be straddling a bomb, while slapping it with your cowboy hat, and yelling, "Yeeeee-Haaawwww!!!"

Oh, wait, that's for B-52 jumps. Never mind. ;)

That's the only thing that would have made that jump better! They actually carry a load of fake bombs with them, but you'd have a hard time getting out the doors on top of one with all your limbs intact...
