B-17 & B-25 over Saguaro Lake, Arizona 10 18 12

Just received this link from a friend and thought I would post it even though its not race related ... hope you don't mind.

The photography is HD, the planes are gorgeous, and it is shot as the B-17 takes off from Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ and then flies over the Superstition Mountains, then on to the east of Apache Junction and then on to Roosevelt & Canyon lakes on the east edge of the Phoenix valley.

The backdrops are stunning. Music is from the mini-series John Adams.

Maximize the screen ...

Amazing video! Imagine great armada's of these airplanes, all with one mission in mind... get the job done and SURVIVE! I've flown on a B-17, B-25 and B-24, I'm always awestruck by what it must have taken to be on one of those things during a mission.. Those guys had to be scared $hitless, but they got up for each mission and did the job.

Simply amazing... thanks for sharing!

Very cool.
That was shot by a friend of mine from years back.
I sent him and email and invited him to check out the forum. I hope he does.. He has some great projects in the works.

Is it bragging if I say I've got time in both those planes?
