CAF's B-17 is at CHD today.
« on: April 18, 2009, 20:20:58 UTC »
The Commerative Air Force's B-17 "Sentimental Journey" is at Chandler Muni today this weekend.  They will be periodically flying during the day.

Listen for call sign "Boeing two three zulu".

Update: A local paper has a slideshow of the B-17:

Here is how we do things in Michigan! This is our Pride And Joy at the Yankee Airforce, based out of KYIP. B-17G N3193 "Yankee Lady".  Awesome airplane!   8-)

Thanks JoeyB!  Great pics!

BTW, Sentimental Journey will be making a Western Tour this summer.  Check the schedule to see if she may be visiting an airport near you!  http://www.azcaf.org/pages/touring.html

(at the present the calendar does not show the plan... Check the above link instead.  Hopefully the calendar will be updated in the near future.)
