What was the neatest thing you ever saw while flying?
I was flying a corporate helicopter one day, in flight visability was about 2-3 miles (at best) level at 2500' when ATC advised me of traffic at 9 oclock same altitude converging, type unknown. Looking left I saw emerging out of the mist a ghostly image of a B-17, I told ATC and they couldn't believe it. I pulled in as much torque as I could to stay up with the B-17 as long as I could, it was absolutely the neatest thing I ever go to experience, flying "formation" with a B-17. I felt like I could have reached out and touched it. The low visablity actually made the experience all the better, it created a mystical image of the great B-17.
