Either way a brilliant sighting, I'm jealous.

Here's an Airtanker doing its real job (Towing two jets to save fuel )

Here is a B29 performing a tip tow operation with two attached fighters.

What a sad person I am!

I drove over there for the first time in August, I had one little mishap in entering Wilderness Lodge Villas, just past the security gate there is a weird crossroad junction (well it was the first time I drove through it) and I almost went over the wrong side of it, BUT... Thankfully as it was a resort route it was empty...

I didn't make the same mistake twice.

As others have said re the Disney Car Care center, that's where we got our Grand Caravan from and on Day 2 of our trip, I utilised Magical Express from the airport but drove TO the airport on home day.

Easiest way for me to remember about staying on the correct side of the road... The DRIVER stays nearest to the middle of the road. Much like we do here, just remember that. Then you'll be ok.

We drove into Kissimmee to a friends house for the day, my phone with the sat nav on locked up, and as I was using Google Maps to download the route, I couldn't do anything when I switched my phone on and off to restart it... That was my biggest panic. I stopped at a diner, went in, told them my predicament, they gave me the WiFi password (which apparently in that diner they don't give it out) and we were on our way again. Panic over.

After that all was absolutely fine.

After further research I discovered it's the B17 Flying Fortress MrT - it was coming in for a bit of a show at Page Field in Fort Myers.
