We've got a few guys on the board here that share pictures of WWII Aircraft when the various shows visit the area, and I think it's safe to say that a lot of those who visit here also have an appreciation for WWII (those who served, and for the equipment/airplanes from that era.)  

Good friend (long, long time friend of The Vault) Roy Schreffler told me a few weeks ago that he was going to take a ride in a B29 (he is a retired engineer and felt that this was a once in a lifetime chance) and did so last weekend. 

Roy was able to "upgrade" to the Bombardier seat, and here is the video as he experienced it:

Thank you Roy.  Amazing to think about that "seat" during wartime, and the brave men that served.
