Memphis Belle Flight

[dropcap]E[/dropcap]very now and then you get a pretty choice assignment. On this one I got a chance to take a media flight on a WWII-era B-17 bomber, The Movie Memphis Belle, over the skies of Fresno. The flight was pretty full with different media taking up the Liberty Foundation's offer of a 12-minute flight. But we were able to move around a little and even see the bombardier's seat in the nose of the plane. I shot a gallery and video for The Bee which was pretty good since it was only 12 minutes. The story got even better when one of those on board happen to be a local guy named Rudy who flew B-17s in the war and hadn't been on one since.
