Sentimental Journey

Oryk has already written about today's Chico air show, and posted a very good photo of the parachuter-with-flag. Here's a snap of the restored B-17, one of only a handful surviving in a world that produced thousands. Named Sentimental Jorney, the crowd queued up for a look inside. I've been reading a lot about the Flying Fortresses and their cousins the B-29s. My uncle died a decade before I was born, somewhere off the English coast, and his war time letters recently surfaced, an heirloom. A sunny day, we're all very red and worn. A good day.
