Big airplane isn't it? Only four feet shorter than the WWII era B-17. |
It is a large airplane but not as big as you think when standing next to it. I was so close I could touch the nose. What an awesome aircraft with such a great flying record. It felt like I was in company of greatness. Truly an engineering marvel.
