At random: The first periscope used by the United States Navy was not built for a submarine. The ironclad monitor OSAGE utilized a periscope to discover a Confederate cavalry unit taking cover behind the high banks of the Red River in Arkansas.

Here is a shot I took of the ceremony at Tahoma National Cemetery yesterday, just south of Seattle. Mt Rainier, in the background, is the view you get looking down the memorial drive. I have a B-17 fly over I'm putting up on You Tube in a few minutes. I'll post a link when it is up.

There was a B-17 touring the San Joaquin Valley airports a few weeks ago, might have been "Aluminum Overcast". Didn't get to go see it at the airport, but when they were doing flight ops it came over my house about 4 times a day.

Engine noise rattled the windows. Should have taken pictures.
