[Leica] IMG: The American Airlines Flagship Detroit

[Jay Burleson]

Waht a treasure, good looking plane.
We just had one of the few flying B-17 bombers, "Aluminum Overcast" at 
our Museum of Flight last weekend. Unfortnately, while I was there it 
was busy taking passengers on flights (for $475.00 a person) and where 
it staged and fueled was at the other end of the field from the museum 
so I couldn't get close to it.
But boy, you could feel the engines as it rumbled down the runway on 
takeoff!
