Grounded


This week I was supposed to get a media flight on the Liberty Belle, a World War II B-17 bomber, as it made a stop in Concord. Monday morning I got a call from the plane's PR guy telling me ground fog where the plane was kept it from taking off in time to make it for our flight. The rescheduled time was set for Friday (a day before the public flights) and I show up with my reporter ready to go. As soon as we get there, we find out the engine is not working, so no media flight ... all we get to do is go out and see it sitting there on the runway. Ben, my reporter, climbs up in the cockpit and I made this frame of him (we might as well have some fun right?)
