There's nothing like seeing those old birds fly.

0:35 Flying Fortress and Stratofortress in a single frame. Love it! Cool Camo on the B-52..

Inspiring. My father trained as a radio operator and gunner on Flying Forts during WWII. He's passed now and so have most of the B-17s. Kudos to all who keep these flying monuments to the Greatest Generation air worthy.

Love the sound of those engines!

I love seeing her at the Reading PA WWII airshow!!!

Watching this now because masters of the air comes out tomorrow! Can’t wait

One time I was out at one of the islands on Lake Erie and the Liberty Aviation Museum had an air show. I always look up when I hear a plane fly over to see if it’s a historic warbird. This time, when I looked up, I saw a B-17 fly over. It was a really cool experience. Later that year, I found out about a guy in my Native American tribe, James Parker, that was a tail gunner on a B-17 in the war, and flew over 50 missions over Europe. His brother, Bill, was in the 116/29th Infantry on D-Day and is known as the first man on Omaha Beach. At the same air show at the LAM, I got to fly on a C-47, “Hairless Joe”, which was in the China-India-Burma Campaign. In WWII, my great grandfather was a paratrooper in the 509th PIR at North Africa, the 82nd at Sicily, and the 101st at Normandy, Holland, Belgium, and Germany. Another guy in my Tribe, Jake McNiece, led the “Filthy 13” in WWII. You can find plenty information on him.

what a beauty!!

What a beauty. Can you imagine 400 of them flying towards combat in 1945?

Never gets old.

Nice to see the b17 flying ✈️

I flew on her back in 2008 at Wings & Wheels at Teterboro Airport in NJ... My Great Uncle Nicholas A. Cannata was a right waist gunner on the Yankee Do Dit, it was shot down on 3/18/44 10 miles NNE of Trieste, Italy doing a bombing run on the Villaorba Airfield. 7 jumped, the pilot, co-pilot and navigator died on impact. Uncle Nicky spent the rest of the war as a POW in Stalag Luft 1.... Sadly he passed away about 6yrs ago. He was the youngest of 5 brothers & 2 sisters. Uncle Charlie and Uncle Jimmy were both in the Guadal Canal in WW2.

Best flyby video out there....only music is that of the four Wrights...the way it should be!

Never get tired of the B-17.

Such a beautiful bird. I really need to get my but up there and see Yankee Lady soon. Thanks for the great video.

Flew on the Liberty Belle 15 years ago. Was worth every dollar. 30 min flight over Pittsburgh and my childhood home. Too bad the Belle was destroyed a few years later.

Just think about seeing/hearing a few hundred of those overhead if you were an axis soldier. Some 💩 would come out for sure! 🤣🤣

Their was music. A chorus line by Pratt & Whitney ;-). Never understood why at airshows they insist on blaring patriotic or nostalgic music :-P. Not that I don't like Glenn Miller (I do actually..), just when seeing rare warbirds not 'In the mood' for such. Not there to hear (any) recordings, I'm there to hear the aircraft play live..

Excellent! Thank you!

My father was an aircraft mechanic in WW2 when it was the army air force. He worked on B17s. He aquired the small homelite 2 cycle battery charging engine that came out of the tail of the B17S. It was 28 volt 30 amp unit. Had an aircraft spark plug. A centrifugal throttle and governed at 3600 rpm. I still have the engine minus the generator.

Stunning! Beautiful aircraft

Chrome B-17 in the evening sun - lucky you

I swear I saw this exact plane flying over Colorado yesterday

One evening a few yrs ago I was out flying my RC Spitfire. The sun was low behind the trees orange sky and all. As I brought my spit back around I heard what sounded like beating oil drums. Just then information with my spit just off the left wing a B-17 appeared. Man my hair stood on end that was soooo dam cool. The 17 was returning from an airshow some place and heading to Atlanta. It wasn't like right next to my spitfire but lined up just right in my line of sight and popped out from behind the trees just as I finished my bank. Pretty cool.

Thank you for excluding the music and announcers. This is a great video!!

The most beautiful bomber ever built, bar none.

Imagine being pinned down by the Wehrmacht in a small French village with the feeling of literally no hope in sight, and then hearing the roar of the Fortress's engines approaching...

Awesome looking plane.

Iam realy proud of watching this plane flying

Beautiful 😊

Absolutely lovely. Thank you!

Very nice, thankyou

Too Cool

Can't wait to see these in the new WW2 series by Spielberg and Tom Hanks!

Nice

I love the b-17.

*what it feels like when the stinkbug is flying around in your apartment at two in the morning when you're trying to fall asleep*

This is a correct way to fly an old antique warbird and its done properly without things like low level high speed passes that nearly hit the ground like was done in the 1961 movie THE WAR LOVER piloted by STEVE MCQUEEN in which he flew around the base doing things nobody is or was supposed to do and today if you do this sort of thing then your wings on your shirt lapel will be torn off and be doing desk duty for 6 months to maybe a year there.

My Dad's favorite plane

Absolutely brilliant. Monumental aircraft vital for the liberation of so many ( incl Europe). So manny young guys died. Respect. What worries me as an engineer is the fact that perhaps it is time to retire these old birds. More will get lost when continue flying them. It is a diabolical dilemma I know. But you can’t go in flying them for eternity so I suppose it should come to a stop at one point.

Magnificent!!

Hello.

Nice engineering 😎

The B-17 is a very elegant looking heavy bomber.

These need to be at 28,000' and on the move.

That's cool I didn't think to see one move

Is it possible that some 17s didn't have the rear gear rectratible?

Price:, 3,000,000$$

As much as this sounds great, it doesn't quite capture the true sensation of a B-17 flyby.

B17 fortress in the sky 🇺🇲 ✈

Yes!!!!! No music!!!!!!

Hey odd question, can I have your permission to use the audio of the flyover in this video for a song?

Installing a smoke generator is a waste of time. It already had 4 of them.
