B-17 and Bird Dog over Minneapolis?

Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:15 pm

Ok, either, I am nuts, or I seen a two B-17's one polished the other green and a Bird Dog ariplane flying from what seemed the St. Cloud Area S.E. towards Minneapolis yesterday.

I live in Albertville, between St. Cloud and Minneapolis, and I swear they were B-17's or B-25's? They were a ways away, but the sound perked my ears up and I just got a glimps.

According to b17.org, the EAA's B-17 was at Anoka County from the 6th to the 8th, and should be in St. Cloud from the 10th to the 11th.

My map shows that Minneapolis is to the S.E. of St. Cloud?

Aluminum Overcast was front page in the Star Trib with some vet stories a couple days ago.

Not sure about an OD 17.
