I snapped several shots of this B-17 as it was on short final yesterday, and they came out with perfect clarity; however, due to the thick cloud cover, the photos are all rather gray. Weather forecasts are calling for blue skies this weekend, so I'll get much brighter snaps of Aluminum Overcast in the air today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
