re: #580 A Cranky One
Nice. Looked up one day to see a B-17 flying overhead, on the way to an air show in Chicago. Realized that it was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A real kick seeing such an iconic aircraft flying overhead. Made history a bit more real.
Not that historic, but much rarer, I once looked up (close to downtown Seattle—what they call SoDo, “South Downtown”) and saw a Beech Starship flying overhead.
