Christilou's post made me think of posting these.
In August there was an air show at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky in Lexington. Iffy weather grounded the WW-II planes that were supposed to fly, but I managed to get onboard them unescorted and without a bunch of people around and got some shots. There was a B-24 Liberator and B-17 Flying Fortress.
Here's the "title shot" this post was named for:

There were just two of us there when we went onboard. The other guy was named Gary and his dad had been a bombardier on a B-24 who was shot down over Belgium and spent time in the Belgian "underground" before being extracted. Gary had never manged to get onboard one, but here he is in the bomb bay -- a very happy camper.
