Surprising B-17 flyby today in Atlanta...which one was it???

Sun Feb 14, 2010 4:25 am

Hello all, I was at work today at the restaurant I work at here in Atlanta, and I was told to do some rearranging on the patio (closed b/c of the cold). Right when I walked out there, a -17 flew over low and slow...made my entire day!!! I ran out onto the street to watch it disappear. Man, what a great feeling, and let me tell you...the sound of 4 radials was music to my ears in a place where all I typically here are jets. Was a great surprise and a nice way to start a busy night at work. Just curious if anyone knows whic Fort it was and what it was doing in the Atl. Thanks, guys and gals. All the best,

-Matt

That would be The Liberty Belle. She is selling rides out of the Peachtree-Dekalb Airport this weekend.
