I've been so busy, I neglected to post photos of a recent air show at I attended at Fort Drum, NY. This is the actual plane from the movie Memphis Belle. (With Harry Connick Jr. & Billy Zane!!!) I'm a long time fan of the movie, and I didn't even know the plane would be there. This plane is an actual WWII plane, but not the actual Memphis Belle from the war. That plane is in the Air Force museum on Ohio and is being restored because she only has three engines and her tail was blown off by German fire.I saw her take off. Smoke poured out of the engines as she fired up. Sounded like a rusty tractor starting up. I can't imagine being in the thing flying over Germany and being shot at. I wanted to climb inside, sit in the actual seat Harry Connick Jr. sat in, but sigh...they wouldn't let me.

Great photos. I loved that movie, but it made me cry at the end. :)
