Oops, my plane numbers aren’t so good. Corrected.

My father in law was a B17 pilot. He loved these guys, and they saved his ass on more than one occasion. He was not progressive but he had a great deal of respect for these men.
In the movie Red Tails they portray a young white officer standing up for them to come into a bar or something (don’t remember exactly), that moment is real, that officer was my father in law. Pretty proud of him.
Edit: corrected plane type

I noticed the other day that my computer car does that. I have my lights set to auto so I never have to think about it, and when I turn my wipers on my lights come on during the day. Thought that was pretty cool.
That being said I’ve driven in some crappy weather around here and when it’s raining and the spray is coming off the road, it doesn’t matter if your car is hot pink, you are invisible to the cars around you if you don’t have your lights on.
