  • "Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit!"

All i have to say is you must have needed balls to sit in a B-17 in 1956 to go and actually bomb Egypt(they even did it in daytime  ??? ) and not to fly around on airshows as an oldtimer. Remember that the EAF had MiG-15s and 17s by that time.
Anyways just in case i made the numbering from 20 through 24 so you can have fun with them ;)

I my memory are goods Israel buy 3 B-17, they came from USA without armament but they bombed Cairo (Le Caire in french) during their travel to Israel. Crew member use blow torch O² bottle for breathing at high altitude because planes were not equiped with standard oxygen mask! During their active service they were used as heavy bombersagainst egyptian positions and make some straffing pass for allowing gunners to use their machine guns.

Thanks for this skin!
