I cannot look at a B17 without thinking of the work and sacrifices my dad went thru as a gunnery instructor on B17s during WWIII.
Thank you Dad and thank you to all those like you whom sacrificed to help keep this country free !!!
Pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale !
Третьей мировой еще небыло.Грамотей.
A thing of beauty! There's something special about 1930's & 40's technology. Raw, pure human engineering. Something lost in today's all computer based systems and designs.
So true 👍🏼🇮🇳
😊
Had the pleasure of flying in the B17 Aluminum Overcast several yrs back & sat in the radio compartment wondering what these guys thought of before takeoff 80yrs ago. Brought up goosebumps. God bless them all.
These planes are getting older and so are the pilots/maintainers. How can the next generation ensure these stay alive? Man, what an amazing historical aircraft.
Commemorative Airforce has a cadet program to train younger pilots and crew :)
My son and I flew on the Sentimental journey in Colorado. It was the most thrilling experience of our lives. I went to see her again in 2019 in the hanger. These planes our part of our history and younger generation should see them.
How can you not feel proud and patriotic when you see these beasts, give me goosebumps.
These things make me feel proud and patriotic and I’m not even American
How can you not feel scared when you are German, allthough this is a brilliant machine....
I toured this plane thirty years ago. I was not ready for the emotional impact when I sat in the pilot's seat. Those brave young men flew planes like this to save MY freedom, even though I was not yet born. I owe them my deepest gratitude!

My profile picture was taken in the pilot's seat of this incredible bird. I even had the privilege to help walk the props through, for a test run after a repair. Many thanks to everyone involved with keeping this special piece of history in the air! It's an incredible machine, with an incredible crew!
0:19 this beautifully piece of history of engineering is like music to my ears
I had the chance a few years back to see her when she stopped in sheridan wyoming. What a beautiful plane. Thank you to all who flew her in the great war and thank you to all of you who are keeping this peace of history alive for future generations. Let it be a reminder that freedom is never free. Thanks to all the men and women of are armed forces.
As associated with this 4 engine plane I lived about 10 miles from St.Louis airport as a child. This was 1950's when all commercial planes were same engines as this bomber. I have deep seated memory of the sound these planes made when taking off. The sound was a grand roar.
Ain't many of these old girls left, sure would love to own one, would keep her fully restored and flyin all the time just for the kicks...thank you for keeping this one in the air
What a BEAUTIFUL bird! God bless you folks for taking care of this incredible relic of history!
Our pleasure!
The epitome of beauty in motion! No plane ever looked so good doing what it should! God bless y’all who care for this airplane
I had the chance to see her when she came to Logan, Utah last summer. A beautiful bird, and a marvel of engineering for her time. Thanks for preserving this piece of history.
The greatest generation ever lived!!!
I Saw Sally B do the same at Duxford UK early spring 2002. It was going full throttle with the parking brakes on, shaking its tail. What a sound those engines produced!
They had to be fearless and scared shitless all at the same time.
I used to watch this B17 take off and land all day in the summer time in Chico, California, when it was a fire fighting bomber. I was glad to see it retsored back to its WWII glory.
Imagine the sky is full of those, what a sound.
There is an airshow over Milwaukee this weekend. I was outside grilling brats in my backyard Saturday.
Three harrier flew overhead.
We don't normally hear any aircraft ( luckily) aside from news helicopters or occasional holding pattern big Jets
Often greeted with a fireworks display by the locals...
There is no video that does these monsters justice. I witnessed Aluminum Overcast start up and take off. They’re so loud and are the best engines I’ve ever heard run. It’s like 4 supercharged pulling trucks going off at once.
Nice to see the props actually turning, unlike some of the other videos. Love the smoke belch on the radials!
I live 1.5 miles south of where she resides. It's great to hear those radial engines every Saturday morning circling the airfield!
Salute to those persons, who worked on piston engines. And flown these aircrafts. I too worked on DC. Dakota engine in 1982.
Anyone watching ‘Master’s of Air’ that’s just been released? Fantastic watch! Really serves as a reminder of the sacrifice too.
There is no other sound like this on Earth. I go see the old warbirds every time they come to Tulsa.
Forever Grateful
Thank you
I got to fly to this b-17 this past summer when she came to Bozeman Montana. What an incredible experience it was! Highly recommended for anyone who’s an airplane enthusiast. You won’t be disappointed! It’s an experience that you’ll never forget
Do you know if this was the one once owned by the Lynch family in Billings, and also appeared in the movie Far and Away? It looks awful familiar, but that was back in the 80’s and Lynch’s sold their planes thereafter.
My Father was a Radio Operator and Waste gunner on a B-17 in the 8th Air Force in WWII. He was 18 when he started flying missions over Europe .
In the late 1960's and early 70's my Air Force ROTC instructor was a retired B 17 pilot (Col. Thayer C Harper) who flew over Germany during WW2. Thank you, Col., for your courage and bravery.
Yep, proof that a war machine can also be a beautiful machine with a lovely 'voice'. Thanks for posting.
She's so foxtrotting awesome. Love this grand ole Lady. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
What a thrill it must be to fly her. I had the privilege of taking a tour when I worked at the airport in Chattanooga, TN a few decades ago. Dang, that sounds bad! LOL.
It is such a cool bird. When it stopped by over here in Idaho, I got to go tour it as well.
I got to ride on this very B-17 about 20 years ago at Gilespie Field in El Cajon. The crew chief told me that 3 of the engines were made by Studebaker.
Those were some young men with huge balls flying those cans back then !!!
Sentimental Journey is such a beauty.
What a Bird. Thank You so much.
Il faut garder ces témoins de l'histoire de l'aviation .Ils sont vraiment magnifiques et nous font toujours rêver !
my grandfather flew this to a few shows when he was alive. i also got to tour this aircraft at falcon field. such a cool plane.
Years ago, she came to Great Falls, Montana (where I lived at the time). The airport there sits on a butte outside and above the city. My house was a mile or two away across the Missouri River. I was in my house when I heard a loud noise. I went outside and looked over to the airport. Sentimental Journey was spooling up her engines and she was rattling my teeth. When she took off, it was an amazing sight. I listened to planes take off from that airport dozens of times a day. But when a B-17 takes off, you really take notice. She sounded like nothing else. Unforgettable!
Absolutely beautiful airplane!
Truly a beautiful aircraft.
I agree with you about the thirties and forties technology these bombers for just phenomenal and the jobs that they had to do I hope we never have to do this again but you're right I beautiful machine
Imagine hearing that while all packed up knowing that it is the point of no return?
To me The B - 17 Was A Beautiful Plane 😊
Four radials on a B-17 - the sound of victory!
Very impressive video, but to really appreciate this it must be seen up close and personal. Then you can feel the visceral power of those big radials. Keep 'em flying!
such a beautiful sound
B 17 flying fortress in the legends 🇺🇲
good to see all the guns in place.
That's serious firepower the bird is toting!
Beautiful plane, the engines sound awesome.
What' a beauty
With engine sound it is magic.
I've seen this beauty fly over quiet a few times 😀
It is Absolutely Beautiful ✝️🇺🇸😀
Tip: stay off the zoom button.. ;-) Marvelous Magnificent Machine ! Thanks !
Never been into planes but that’s beautiful
A million thumbs up!
Masters of the Air
I live down the road from Falcon Field, home of this magnificent machine, and never tire of the times it flies over the house!
Also saw a start up in person! Awesome!!
You ever get to Mesa Az it’s a must see!
😎❤️🇺🇸
dude i used to volunteer there. have you ever seen the avenger next to the phantom its huge!
@@cafhead Yes!! Amazing how big it is.
Look up “Loyce Deen” ….. he was the only Navy member that was buried at sea in his Avenger in WW2.
A reminder to Never Forget!!🙏🔥❤️🇺🇸😎
Saw her in South . tahoe California in 1998 .Got a ton of pictures of her to
Produced under license contract by Donald Douglas Aircraft Long Beach California 1944.
“ keep ‘em flying “ 🇺🇸
I worked on the engines of sentimental journey and bonded with every ground crewman of an airplane in WW2
I walked thru that plane in Farmington N M when it toured there like 20 years ago bought a deck of cards it did a fly around city n the sound was amazing
wow! thank you for this!
Хочется сказать спасибо пилотам летавших на этих самолётах в сороковых годах, которые , внесли свой вклад в победе над фашизмом. Вечная им благодарность. Погибшим, вечная слава и память.
Не по тем бомбили.
Tres beau zinc ! 👍👍
Built a huge model of a B-17G by the Lindbergh Line model company when I was 8 years old lin 1956.
Such a Beautiful Plane ❤ It.
Absolutely awesome!😊😊😊
I get to Hopefully fly in this plane in 1 week and im so excited for the experience of a childhood dream coming true
What a sweet sound

Q bella máquina y muy buen recuerdo de lo mejor de la época 👍
I used to talk to the pilot who flew this plane out of Falcon Field in Mesa AZ back in 1985 when I lived there next door almost. He was going to take me and a couple others up, when on a practice flight, it had to belly land, because a landing gear never came down. I moved a year or two later and never got to go up. I knew they rebuilt her. I always wished I would have gotten a ride. I'm 65 now and live in Oregon. Does anyone remember her in AZ?
She is still in AZ.
Had a chance to tour her at Falcon Field in 1980. Still had a lot of work to do on her. They hadn't gotten the tail guns restored. I hope to get another chance to see her again one day.
nothing like going back in time👍
Imagine being a youg German civilian in Stuttgart or Hamburg in 1944, and seeing dozens of the bombers flying over in formation! Both awe inspiring and devastating, knowing whats about to happen.
Man I love airplanes. All of them!
Absolutely lovely video of our “Betty” (Sentimental Journey) 😁🇺🇸! Can’t wait until she’s home for the Winter (I live about 5 miles west of CAF Airbase Arizona (Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona, where this video was shot) 😁!
Gregory Peck as General Savage.
“ this group has become known as a hard luck group,, well I don’t believe in luck, so we’re going back to flying fundamentals to see if that’s the problem “
“ looks like they’ve heard about the 918th “
Operator simply ace!
The Greatest Generation.🇺🇸
Красивая машина, а звук работы двигателей просто божественный !!!
Eu sou um apaixonado pelo B17
MJ SOKOLIK MISSOURI Beautiful, thanks to those who are keeping her running for a reminder of all who sacrificed during WW2 and beyond. May we never forget.
Great plane...and great video - except for the headache-inducing fast in and out zooming.
Wow what a sound😊
swinging that big ol ham standard yeah!
Excellent sound! And slower shutter so the props look like they’re turning!! Very cool. To bad these wonderful planes were designed and made for war, huh?
Thanks for noticing the little things most people don't!
Passei minha infância sob as asas das lendarias fortalezas voadoras , morava na cidade Recife PE BRASIL .
As B 17 serviram à Força Aerea Brasileira no periodo pós Guerra , realizaram missões de Reconhecimento ( Aerofotogametria ) Busca e Salvamento , voaram até 1968 , na ocasião meu pai , Maj Avuador Nobrega juntamente com o Maj Av Cavalcnti levram uma para os USA .
Hoje encontra-se em museu a " Short Bear " .
O Ronco deste pássaro , até hoje , ecoa em mim .
PARABÉNS B17 E A TODOS OS TRIPULANTES QUE LUTARAM PELA LIBERDADE !!!!
Impressive!
The most beautiful plane of ww2
I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with "Sentimental Journey" when she paid a visit to the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada!
My wife's Facebook profile picture is of me and our adult son posing under her nose art ( I love Betty Grable)
WOW, THATS A ENGINE! John P.
About 12 years ago I got to ride in a B 17 from one of the groups that travel around the country at Boeing field in Seattle it was about one hour 6 or 7 people and once up you got to move to different stations from Boeing field to Edmonds and back along the water also next to my group there was one guy going to fly the P51 Mustang as he was a pilot in Vietnam my trip 400.00 his trip 1500.00
Been fortunate enough to work on this girl several times at Mesa. It's unusual, they didn't go in the normal starting order of 3,4,1,2. Every B-17 out there (including this one) usually does that.
sweetness.
Sadly it looks like Sentimental Journey is currently the only flying B-17 since the Yankee Air Museum has grounded the Yankee Lady for wing spar issues and waiting for the FAA to come out with a derivative since there several B-17's with wing spar issues.
Holy Bananas, I can't even imagine what it would sound like to hear 50 of these flying in formation over you. Just incredible.
Beautiful!! The majority of the pilots that fly these machines today is in their mid 60s.
And the WW2 pilots were they alive today would be 105 or so.
@@Snookynibbles I mean the pilots who fly today, not the real combatants
@@GuilhermeCabelo 👍🏻
Thanks
