slotperfect 7 #3 May 22, 2001 Not at Quincy, but . . . I jumped the B-17 used to film the "Memphis Belle" movie. Jumped it from the bomb bay (left side). Exited facing aft, did a froot loop, and dove down to catch up with my pals. When it comes to aircraft, that was my favorite jump. Shoot, RIDING in that airplane was a blast (from the past). Worth it, for sure.Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #5 May 22, 2001 I haven't jumped from a B-17, but I have taken a pretty long ride (~1 hour) in the EAA's B-17 a couple of years ago. I was still a whuffo back then. It was really cool because I was only expecting a 15 minute ride, but they just changed crews and wanted to get some time in.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
