Every year the Collings Foundation brings the bombers to Valpo for
several days. This year, they also brought a P-51C Mustang, one of my
favorite warbirds.
We've had harsh sun and hazy skies the last couple of days, naturally,
but I did the best I could. Couldn't get any closer to the big birds
since they were both preparing for takeoff (with enough disposable cash,
you can buy a ride on one).
I did shoot some video of the B-17 firing up the engines and taxiing,
but the shutter speed on the E-M5 is darn near synchronized with the
props, so you hear the fury of those four big rotaries and you see
propellers just rotating lazily or not at all.
First six photos here:

Enjoy. C&C Encouraged.
