Sitting on the bench outside the Pleasant Hill library over in Contra Costa County waiting for it to open this morning and I hear the unmistakable thrum of radial engines overhead. Looking up, I watch a B-17 fly over on a NW heading towards the nearby coast range. Five minutes go by and I hear radial engines again, this time from a B-25 heading in the same direction. Another 5 minutes and a B-24 flies over. I sat there for awhile hoping there would be a fighter escort coming over shortly, but no luck. Made my day.
