    Back when I was a single man...and had money, I went up in a B-17 called Sentimental Journey. At the time, it was operated by the Confederate Air Force, which was renamed the Commemorative Air Force, I think.

    After growing up around a number of men who had flown planes in WWII, like the P-38,
    P-47, P-40, C-46, and B-24, and after watching Robert Conrad and that wonderful show called Baa Baa Black Sheep, I always wanted to go up in one of those planes instead of just dream about it.

    My sister moved to Florida, and on a trip to see her, I went up in an AT-6. Although it was quite expensive, there's nothing like it. The men who flew those planes and engaged in dogfights without the precision weapons we have now are something else.

    Of course, so are the men and women who are flying and fighting now.
