The B-17 was an amazing plane. My dad flew 35 missions to Germany and back machine gunner and radio operator. He was a member of the lucky bastards club. That is one beautiful model rest in peace dad I miss you.

Wonderful airman ship, a kiss my hand hand landing in challenging conditions AND no bloody

[chuckcawthon]

Excellent model and flight demonstration. He is one with his machine. Well Done Sir.

[LICobra]

Outstanding flight and landing in strong winds.

[nuchbutter]

Wow! That was a gutsy flight in gusty conditions. Well done, sir.

[DadsRCHangar]

Wow what an epic Bird, even with four engine, you could see the wind fighting her all the way, great pilot. Great footage Dom 👍🏻

[wayneandrus]

Absolutely fantastic. great aero modeling and great flying too!

[dragonmeddler]

Proof a superior design will fly best. Boeing's nearly perfect bomber often made it home when lesser aircraft couldn't. What a beautiful flight! At scale, the gusty winds were near hurricane strength to the model.

I love these XXL planes. They look so real. Beautiful plane, and thank you for sharing your videos.

[PopKombo-vp]

I was fortunate enough to fly in the 909. I spent most of the flight in the nose sitting in the bombardier's chair. What an experience.

My dad was a ball turret gunner in ww2 in the German war stationed in Italy, but in a B-24.Great job flying that plane and boy is it cool.Thank you

Beautiful, excellent, that was great to watch even with the strong winds. Congratulations on a fine flight. May you have many more as you fly that beautiful B-17. From the USA

[johndems]

Very impressive, it even sounds like the real plane when in the air.

Çocukluğumdan bu güne En büyük Aşkım. Model uçak çalışmaları. Emeğinize sağlık❤

[inquirer]

Just outstanding! I can appreciate the B-17. I was lucky to tour the inside of one. It was so cramped. Beautiful plane.

[seapoacher]

Twelve O'clock High is one of my favorite movies. Brave men!

[felixmadison]

BEAUTIFUL!!! I sure wouldn't want to be the machine gunner in that glass cage under the pilot! That took a lot of guts to do what those guys did during WWII!!! Nice flying by the way! My late cousin loved RC planes and was a club member here on Cape Cod. He built and flew for many years.

[Andreas-mdly]

Das Modell ist der Hammer ! Der Pilot noch viel mehr ! Bei dem Wind so zu fliegen und am Ende eine 3-punkt Landung hinzulegen - das ist hohe Schule !

[CurtHudspeth-te]

That Was so Awesome what A Beautiful Flight And a Excellent Landing. Very Well Done. Have A Great Day
