These were taken in 2009, when we had a fly-in to Corvallis Airport, an annual tradition held in conjunction with the Rose Festival further north. Gave me the opportunity to get up close and personal with these warbirds, particularly with the B-17 and B-24 that I was able to crawl through--"crawl" being the operative verb. That made me appreciate a bit better what those aircrews had to put up with even before they had to contend with Flak 88s, ME-109s, and FW-190s.
