B-17 Texas Raider lands at KSC on the Shuttle runway

From Thursday:

Texas Raiders has been making history for more than 70 years, but today she managed another first. TR and the crew were graciously invited to land at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center!

We made a quick stop there on our way to Daytona to join the Commemorative Air Force B29 B24 Squadron for their tour stop there. It was great to visit the good men and women at “America’s Spaceport!”
