A visit from the Bomb Squad


We caught the arrival of this pair of WWII veterans while stopping briefly in San Luis Obispo. We took video footage, too, which you can see here (otherwise, you'll just have to imagine the huge roar that accompanied these beasts).

Sadly, I believe the B-17 was the one that later crashed in Connecticut in 2019.
