  1. Hi Sarah! My dad just emailed me a link to an article on a ww2 plane that was recently found in the desert. There are 11 fascinating photos of the very well preserved fighter. I can give you the address to the site if you are interested in seeing it.

    Love the photo of the B-17! What a beautiful plane!
