Out for some time in my A2A B-17G

Post by cflord »

Out for a little flight time in my A2A B-17G. Decided to do some flying around Jacksons Intl Airport in Papa New Guinea.

Nice.

I'm on the way to Duxford EGSU at the moment in my B-17G. One of the guys just told me that he left his bag on the ramp in Reykjavik. Bad luck I guess :wink:

In all my years of flying as a USAF C-130 Flight Engineer, one of the things I never did was forget my bag. I have been caught out, with out my bag twice on day trips, that we were suppose to be back home that night and the plane broke with engine changes that left us stranded.

Well that's not the same as forgetting your bag. That's more an unlucky circumstance I would say :)
