Hey Dave,

thanks for the link to the pictures. It looked like it was a nice little event. I like the shots taken out of the tail gunner. Especially the one that looks to be at a fairly decent angle of bank.

Cheers,

David M.

Great pictures Dave ~ thanks for sharing them with us :D

From the link, I noticed that you guys intend to start offering rides from June this year with the B-25

Very nice indeed ! Thanks for them.

it must be quite odd to be in the tail gunner position during those steep turns... :shock:
