B-24 ride

[Niner Delta]

I uploaded all the pics and videos to photobucket, just click on the link below. The thumbnails with the white dashes at top and bottom are the videos.

There are 3 pages of photos.

DISCLAIMER..........

The camera that I used is a digital still camera that will take short videos with sound. Some of the vids are shaky. I was trying to record some of the ride without missing out on the experience. We had to be belted in for take-off and landing, my seat was on the right, just behind the co-pilot facing the rear. There was a 12" by 12" window next to me that many of the videos were taken from. The vids of take-off and landing were taken with my arm sticking up as far as I could reach while belted in, couldn't see what I was filming. After take-off we could roam around the plane and take more pics. The nose gunner and bombardier positions are very small and you crawl on your hands and knees to get to them, not easy for us fat boys.

The flight lasted about 30 minutes and it was more fun than you can imagine.

Took me a minute or two to figure out the "movies" were the photos with the white dashes at the top and bottom. Funny how the prop blades look from what the camera catches of them in motion.
