My Ride on the "Yellow Rose"
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2016 7:15 am
Went to the CAF Wings Over Dallas airshow on 10/29 & shelled out some green for my very first WW2 bomber ride! Had lots of great choices but went with this one because I learned it was the only plane that allowed you to visit every crew position (except pilot seats) during the flight.
A link to the shared Dropbox folder with pics is below. There’s also a subfolder with videos shot during the flight.
All this was done with my phone, but most came out pretty good.
Look for the text file titled “read me” for a description of the flight & the pictures.

Among about 7 friends who met up with me at the airshow throughout the day were 2 fellow flight sim enthusiasts. One was a guy I'd never met, from the IL-2 BOS forums. He is an architect from the neighboring city of Fort Worth. The other guy was =SYN=Requiem, whom I had already met once before. Some of you may recognize him since he makes excellent instructional videos for IL-2 BOS, and also made a bunch for Rise of Flight in years past. Now he is a flight instructor not far from here, and is quickly closing in on enough hours to apply for a job with an airline or cargo carrier. He's got a neat story I'll share another time for those interested. He is badgering me to go up with him too. I plan to do it soon, before he moves on to his next gig.

). Very nice photos & videos it makes me giddy just seeing them and thinking about how it must have been 
. How well do you think the simulated B-25 stacks up to the real deal, Blue2? I couldn't find the readme file.
