It's got a lot of range. You know what I mean by range, don't you? I mean, it can stay up for a long time. A very long time.
And it's built firm and solid. Because it has to be. Because of its tremendous forward thrust. And when this baby delivers its payload... devastating.

You get me up in that plane, then we'll talk about forward thrust.

^^^^ Slight thread drift. I have been up in that very plane - 14 times as Flight Loadmaster.

That's B-17G 'Sentimental Journey'. She starred in this film just prior to being donated to the Arizona Wing (now Airbase Arizona) of the Commemorative Air Force for restoration. She is still flying today.

And yes, she certainly does have a lot of forward thrust... 4,800 hp worth.
