Guy had a dream to build a 1/3 scale B-17 that you could get in and fly. Took him 17 yrs. to build it and say "I did it" to the nay sayers!

Thanks for the link to this video and great story, Forty.
My late Father-in-law was a proud mechanic in the ground crew assigned to a B-17 named Virgin On The Verge.

I love it. Something special.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
