Good experience for them to have met those veterans, but a real learning experience if any shared details of what it was like to have the job or a pilot or crew member.
All I know is when that B17 flew over my house and over the barn in the photo below, does not look like a lot of fun if someone is shooting at you.
We have a family member, an in law who was a pilot, P51's and B17's, B24's, not sure how much time he spent in each, but he did tell me what he flew, its hard to ask these guys details sometimes, as you don't want to be disrespectful by having them relive things that were awful, but part of war. He's quite agile and still rides horses today.
Photo of him below:
He stopped by while I was finishing a water line repair in the barn, sunlight is blotting him out a bit.
