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.
