B-17G "Sentimental Journey": SERIES

Gatineau Executive Airport; P.Q.
Vintage Wings Hanger

Series of Five (5) images showing the engine start sequence and ending with all four 'churning and burning'. The engine start sequence is: No. 3; No. 4; No. 2; and No. 1.
The woman in the nose was one of the lucky ticket draw winners who got to be on board the B-17 when the engines were fired up.

Image 2: Engine start Number 4


Image 3: Engine start Number 2


Image 4: Engine start Number 1

Certainly would fail a roadworthy test for noise with those open exhausts! Great sequence to catch the oily start of the four engines. V!

Super cool close ups and love the straight on shot too.

That is some series - I can just imagine the vibration when those engines were all fired up.
