Dave Diamond Goes For A Ride In A B-25 Bomber – Sheppard Air Show 2011

Dave Diamond — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:55:02 +0000

Over the years I've been fascinated by the static displays they've had at various air shows and watched the fly overs. This year I got to strap in and go for a ride in the Yellow Rose, a B-25 bomber from World War II.
