Take a Look at These!

Had an experience last week that was WAAAAAAY cool. The Fort Collins--Loveland airport hosted a B-17, B-24, P-51, and a bunch of WW II reinactors. The Cochran Clan went and had a BLAST! You look at a B-17 or B-24 and the biggest impression left on me was just how cramped and SMALL they are. Here are smattering of the pictures my wife took:

Fantastic! Great shots. Even a P-51B.

Good to see you getting your kids interested. My dad did the same for me and my brother.
