B-17 Flying Fortress - "Thunderbird" - 2002 Salute to Veterans Airshow

Photos and commentary by Andy Steere.

These are images of the B-17 called "Thunderbird". It was roped off and I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to, but that was ok... because I got to see it fly! (see video clips below)

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)
