B-17 Flying Fortress The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was the first mass-produced, four-engine heavy bomber. It is still one of the most recognised aeroplanes ever built. It was most widely used for daylight strategic bombings of German industrial targets during World War II as part of the United States Eighth Air Force.

2006 Float Fly Photos

The Bomber Filed Float Fly 2006 was held at the Bomber Field float pond May 6th & 7th, 2006. What a great time. Keith Moody and some of the fellows from San Antonio were in attendance. Keith Coover came from Harwood also. Pete Boudreaux also came from Franklin, La along with some locals and club members. We had a good rain late Friday night but by 10:00 AM Saturday the skys were clear and it had dried up enough to get to the pond. A lot of flying was done Saturday and Sunday on the water. Check the website and join us next year.

Thanks to all who came.

Nick Stratos May, 2006
