This is some spotting footage I captured of a beautifully maintained B-17 Flight Fortress called "Sentimental Journey". The radial engines starting up is something a video can't do justice. The Palm Springs Air Museum at KPSP hosted this particular pleasure flight, while the aircraft itself is operated by the Commemorative Air Force. For other pleasure flight opportunities at the Palm Springs Air Museum, you can visit their Facebook here: facebook.com/palmspringsairmuseum

For a more complete history and tour schedule of Sentimental Journey, you can check out the Commemorative Air Force website here: commemorativeairforce.org/aircraft/1
and here: azcaf.org

Here is a Wikipedia link with some additional information on this aircraft: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentimental_Journey_(aircraft)

Hope you enjoy the footage and have a chance to see this piece of flying history in-person someday.
