B-17 went toe to toe with a Cold war era MiG-17. B-17 survived to fly another day.

  • B-17 dives to avoid another MiG

Collected you in trade at Joani's Buggy Birthday event. B-17 will fly in formation with F-16. I have an affinity for B-17, because I've explored a 1941 B-17C wreck near Lake Tahoe; that squadron was mustering for Hawaii and the Philippines just before Pearl Harbor.

  • B-17 parts company with F-16 Es Effo Bug Hotel
