I don't know if the B-17 sighting is related, but John Bryhan (KRnetter from way back) has the following photo of Jeff Scott perched under a B-17 at Los Alamos airport (see http://internet.cybermesa.com/~jeb/jeff&b17.jpg ). There are more photos at http://internet.cybermesa.com/~jeb/ . I'm not sure how long ago this was, but that are some pretty nice pictures!
I did the tour thing as part of the local EAA chapter a few years back, volunteering to help out when Aluminum Overcast visited Huntsville. That got me very interested in the B-17. My uncle, Robert Langford, flew one back in WW2, and it's now on display at Wright Paterson, "Shoo Shoo Baby". I heard a story that sounds a whole lot like the Memphis Bell episode, complete with throwing out everything that wasn't bolted down just to make it back across the English Channel. I saw a B-17 show on the History Channel this week where the guys that flew it swore it was the "most likely to get me back home in one-piece, no matter how badly shot up" airplane of the war. Good to hear from John again too. Get that Sube powered KR done and fly it to the Gathering...
