I was at Wausau Downtown Airport this morning buying oil for my airplane when a World War II B-17 landed. It was the Experimental Aircraft Association's "Aluminum Overcast," and it was in town to take the well-heeled for expensive rides. Pity the day was gray and rainy, but I was delighted to see this old warbird all the same.
