WATCH: A ride in Boeing's historic B-17 Flying Fortress
SEATTLE -- Did you hear an unusually loud engine roaring over Seattle on Friday?
Q13 FOX News anchor David Rose and photojournalist Walker Anderson took a ride in a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress!
It's the same type of plane Rose's grandfather flew in World War II.
The plane is in Western Washington through the weekend, so the public can get a sense of this Boeing engineering marvel.
The Wings of Freedom Tour is at Boeing Field/King County International Airport June 20th - 22nd.
