B-17 Flight
The B-17 "Aluminum Overcast" came through Gwinnett County on Thursday and I got the assignment to shoot it. Now, as many of you know my mom's a pilot and my dad was one as well. I grew up flying with my parents and always having airplanes around me, so anytime I have the opportunity to get back in the air I jump at it. Thursday's assignment turned out cooler than I expected. I went with an intention to produce a sound slide (which I did, YAY), but I did not go in thinking I would get to meet a World War II veteran who was a B-17 pilot. So quickly I redirected my focus to him being on flight with me as opposed to just the plane coming to town. So, meet Jerry Sheffer. This was his first time back in a B-17 since the war, and he said that it will most likely be his last. Check out my SOUNDSLIDE

Wow, that sounds like an amazing experience. It's cool that you met the veteran too-what luck. I dig the soundslides, but I puked a couple times when I saw the very last slide...with the words...
