It's pretty unique to get on an airplane like the B-17 with technology that's over 60 years old. Yet we won World War II flying these planes. We owe our veterans a big thank you. Most people don't realize the person living next door could be a war hero. |
We don't want to park this plane in a museum. We're losing 1,500 veterans a day in this country. Movies like Pearl Harbor encouraged people to get a better understanding of what our veterans did and to realize that freedom is not free. With each veteran that's passing we lose another story of courage and valor. |
When these 80-year old veterans climb into the cockpit, they're 19 again - for just a brief minute. It's hard to imagine what they went through. They are truly heroes. |
