Richard Calland of Maysville observes from a machine gun port Friday while flying on the Aluminum Overcast B-17 Flying Fortress. Calland is a United States Navy veteran and enjoys vintage military aircraft.
A veteran got the chance to take flight recently on an historical American aircraft. Richard Calland, 82, of Maysville, couldn't imagine a better way to spend a Friday afternoon than flying, or being around planes. For as long as Calland can remember, he's been enthralled by aircraft of all shapes and sizes. That's why his flight aboard a B-17G Flying Fortress was so special.
