Liberty Belle B-17 at KDVT

[Chris Kennedy]

This B-17 is parked at Atlantic Aviation at Deer Valley. They are advertising rides for the weekend ($430) but apparently it will be there all week. It's not in a good location for photography from public areas, so unless you have contacts to get you on the ramp (if you do, take me with you ) it will be hard to get anything good until they fly it.

This is the best I could do from the patio of Atlantic on a mostly cloudy day.

Wonder if its possible to contact the Liberty Belle guys and see when they have paid rides scheduled.

Rides are on Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th.

I was out there this morning for a flight lesson and then had breakfast there with my wife and some friends. After breakfast we walked out to it and got some good pics of it and my friend's Cessna 140 next to it.
I'm sorry to ask but I cant figure out how you guys insert a photo into one of these threads.
I want to share the pics I got of it and some others. I didn't find it in the help section either.
Clicking the add image button? dont know what to do with that.

It flew!

Landing.

Sorry about the background. I asked them to remove the hangars and the parked planes, but they refused. 

No prop blur either. The engines were idling at this point and the props were barely turning.

Unfortunately, these bomber pilots like to put the plane down on the numbers, and those are quite a distance from the observation deck.

Turning back the clock to 1945.

Wow Chris and Cholubaz I just saw on the news that she was in town and come to find all these great pics and cholubaz I think I like the Cessna more than that other big plane in your pics
