I had the chance to fly on this B17 in the early 80s when the crew took it to Harlingen. I remember passing over Austin and seeing the Capitol building through the bombsight! On the trip back to Meacham the weather set in on us and forced an overnight stay in Rockport TX after a try at climbing over the thunderstorms proved impossible. My most prized photo is a snapshot of my twins standing by the main gear under the wing when they were 4 years old. I live close to Meacham now and every time I hear those round motors going overhead it gives me a thrill and some very great memories. Keep it flying! 02/04/2008 @ 15:38 [ref: 6735]

Sean is mistaken...a lot of the aircraft in this museum do fly.
Great small working museum.

Drove up to the flight line today with my Australian visitor Tim Vickridge from Perth to see his first B-17. Chuckie was pulled out with the starter cart hooked up and being preflighted. Well we got to see her fly! Huge clouds of smoke as those great big radials each started; great takeoff using very little runway! Beech C-45 in Navy colors also flew, and a visiting pristine B-25, Pacific Prowler, was there. Total audience for this private airshow maybe under a dozen people. A woman ex-P-3 Orion ASW officer gave us a great tour and really did know some things I didn't. Don't take it for granted; this museum is WORTH VISITING, Call ahead, find out when they FLY!! It is not big but what they do have is worth a look. We have done the hanger dance several times and that is a blast... 01/15/2006 @ 04:26 [ref: 4710]
