The Pima Air & Space Museum. Visited a last January. So much to see inside and out.

"It is the peak of World War II. A B-17 bomber is flying over German territory, Alone.

The usual Bomber escorts have deserted the bomber for a reason. The bomber has lost 3 of its four engines and limping back home. A limping plane with no escort fighters is a sitting duck for Luftwaffe.

A Luftwaffe fighter rose above the cloud and came near the B-17 bomber. The pilot of the bomber clutched to his stick and expected a hit any time. But the Luftwaffe pilot did not shoot the B-17 bomber.

The Luftwaffe fighter Messerschmidt protected the B-17 bomber until the end of German airspace and bid goodbye. As Europe faced ferocious battles, there were moments of friendship."

Story of B17 escorted by German flying ace

I'm thinking the B17 has lost 1 engine and is limping on 3. (?)
That is certainly what the illustration is showing.

Randy that first jet is that Jamie Davis' Towing plane. Just hauling another one off the pass?

Cool pic, imagine the steady reflexes you need to have to refuel mid air.

I think that's actually a glider...He's just taking it up to release it for a run...
