Description
If there's any medium that comes close to making time travel possible, it's a warbird. The sights, the sounds, smells, and physical presence of a plane created and flown from a different era makes that the period all the more tangible. It is thru these planes that one can get a glimpse into what it was like for the men and women that used these machines to fight wars.
Of course, nothing compares to seeing a warbird in flight. During a flight in which I went up to watch Collings Foundation's B-17 take to the air, I found myself in a unique situation where the bomber paralleled our course. So as my right-seater took control of our plane, I broke out my ever-present camera and took a couple of shots as the Fortress broke into a turn and roared under us.
This B-17G is airframe number 44-83575, civilian registration N93012. It is operated by the Collings Foundation under the guise of "Nine O Nine". Proceeds from the sales of this print will be donated to that organization.
**Photographer's Note - To ensure quality, "Past Is Present" is restricted to sizes of 9.375' X 14.000" or lower. I apologize for any inconvience.
