Photo Comment

This unique single seat B-17 replica was christened Obsession but is better know in aviation circles as the Bally Bomber. Designed and built by carpenter and homebuilder Jack Bally over 17 years, the aircraft first flew (accidentally when a gust of wind caused it to become airborne during taxi testing) in 2016.
