Hi all,
So I have recently swapped to FSX:SE after flirting with P3D and had an urge and wanted to get reacquainted with my trusty old B-17... I have always loved the B-17, even though I am British and loved flying around in the A2A masterpiece and that feeling hasn't changed. I must thank Scott and his team for the ability to keep producing and for making what I believe to be the best add-ons for FSX, I fly nothing but A2A now!
So a quick flight was needed in 'Sally B' from her home at Duxford...
Ready to Start...
Flypast at Duxford before crew training...
Somewhere over the Cambridgeshire Countryside...
Downwind RWY 23 at Cambridge Airport for a Touch 'n' Go...
Approaching Duxford, crew were happy...
Thinking of the fallen as we pass the American Air Museum taxiing to park...
Safely tucked up for another day...
I hope I haven't bored you too much, this is my first post with a story and just wanted to share what has been a very enjoyable afternoon!

Nice screenshots! I love the B-17 too but then I love all the A2A planes . I exclusively fly A2A too these days.

I think it is as much fun reading those stories as it is putting them together. I did some a couple of months back with the B-17 on an Atlantic ferry from the States to Europe in the B-17 screenshot thread.
I'll be looking out for more stuff from you

Awesome! I'll have a read when I get some time! Now that I've done one, I am thinking about doing more! As long as I don't bore you all!
