An F15's Journey to a California Museum
An aircraft going from one end of the country to the other happens every day. But those aircraft typically are traveling by air. Senior Airman Jason Shamberger tells us about an F-15 that is making the cross-country trip by ground.
P2V-5 Take-off from Chico Mun. Airport
Tanker 06, laden with Phos-Chek fire retardent, takes off from KCIC to go fight a fire. The high-pitched noise is the APU of Tanker 167, an Avro RJ85, in the foreground, and the voice is Dave's as usual, talking to kids in the museum, as usual. I was the one who said that there are two runways.

This is My Town: The Museum of the Forgotten Warriors
The Museum of the Forgotten Warriors
Located in my hometown of Linda, CA, it's a museum for those who fought on behalf of the United States of America. The personal stories of the warriors so that they will never be forgotten. It is also the only museum in the US which has a display for the Hmong warriors who fought on behalf of the US. This is my story, for them.

Sentimental Journey... WWII era B17 Flying Fortress start, taxi & takeoff... nostlagia!! pure audio
Sentimental Journey... WWII era B17 Flying Fortress start, taxi and takeoff... nostalgia!!
A chrome and beautiful chrome warbird of WWII, one of the finest aircraft to come out of the USA, the B17 Flying Fortress. Still amazing after so many decades. What is it that captivates so many of us as we stand there looking on it awe at this museum piece, this relic that our grad fathers and maybe great-grandfathers flew over Europe under such desperate times. Barely 250 MPH some 20,000 feet or so over Nazi Germany 1943-45, such terrifying times, such exhilarating times.
Sunrise in Calgary, the morning after the airshow, time for the crew to head off to their next destination, for the next group of enthusiasts waiting for their fix of nostalgia and raw power.
Sentimental Journey (44-83514) is the nickname of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber. It is based at the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa, Arizona. The aircraft is regularly flown to airshows throughout North America. The nose art features Betty Grable, the number one pinup girl of the World War II era. The aircraft's name takes after a song made very popular by Doris Day in 1945.
Boeing B-17G 44-83514 was built by Douglas Aircraft in late 1944, and was accepted by the U.S. Army Air Forces on 13 March 1945. Assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war, it was subsequently placed in storage in Japan. In 1947, the B-17G was reconfigured as a RB-17B for a new role in photo-mapping and assigned to Clark Field in Manila.[2]
In 1950, the aircraft was transferred to Eglin Field, Florida and converted to a DB-17G for service as an air-sea rescue craft. During the 1950s, it was modified to a DB-17P standard, serving with the 3215th Drone Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. One of its important missions was Operation Greenhouse, the fourth postwar atmospheric nuclear weapon test series conducted by the United States during the spring of 1951. As a mother ship, the RB-17P directed unmanned, radio controlled B-17 drone aircraft to measure blast and thermal effects and to collect radioactive cloud samples. During the test, a drone aircraft would be taken off by ground control. A mother ship, already airborne, would then come from behind, take control of the drone and fly it to the target area.
On 27 January 1959, the aircraft was transferred to military storage at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. After a few months storage, 83514 was acquired by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico, California, receiving civilian aircraft registration: N-9323Z. For 18 years, the converted bomber flew as a forest fire fighter throughout the United States.
On 14 January 1978, at a membership banquet for the newly formed Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, Colonel Mike Clarke announced the donation of the aircraft to the CAF for assignment to the Arizona Wing. A contest was initiated by the local media to name the aircraft, which resulted in more than 800 entries, and the ultimate selection of the name Sentimental Journey with nose art featuring World War II pinup Betty Grable. Permission was secured from widower Harry James to add Betty Grable in her most tantalizing pose to complete the newly acquired bomber.
Although flyable, Sentimental Journey was hardly an accurate representative of the wartime B-17 bomber and in December 1981, the aircraft underwent an extensive restoration. By 1985, the addition of four operational turrets, operational bomb bay doors, navigator and radio operator stations, Norden bomb sight and machine guns completed the transformation to its original condition.
Over the years,Sentimental Journey has performed across North America, as one of the most recognizable examples of the type, keeping the legacy of the B-17 intact. (Wikipedia)

Flying High With the First Family of Skytypers
Ever considered writing a message in the clouds? Greg and Stephen Stinis are the guys to call. The father-son team run the Chico, California-based company SkyTypers, where they pilot airplanes to write messages and advertisements in the sky using specialized smoke. Greg's father Andy first pioneered the business of sky-typing in 1931, by piloting a single airplane to form messages in the sky. Today, Greg and Stephen carry on the family legacy with a modernized process, using a team of five planes flying simultaneously to create masterpieces that can span over 15 miles in length.

B-17 Sentimental Journey - My Flight - In Memory of B-17 - Nine-O-Nine - October 2, 2019
I decided to post my my Ride of a Lifetime - B-17 Flying Fortress - Sentimental Journey In Memory of those who lost their lives and where injured today in the crash of B-17 Nine-O-Nine at Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut.
My heart and prayers go out to all those involved and their respective families.
This video is dedicated to all that share this same passion.
God speed!
The video is from takeoff and lasts only 12 minutes of flight time from the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, July 2014. I was seated in the Bombardier position. It was loud and exciting all rolled into one.
No edits where done.
Being able to take a step back in time was a pure honour for me. In one way or another, this is a Remembrance to the men and women who did their tour of duties during WW2 and to the people of today keeping that passion alive.
To all those who have served and are serving now, thank you for keeping us safe and our countries free.
I brought along in memory for the flight, my Fathers CDN Merchant Navy medals and his watch.
He was a WW2 Veteran.
