The Liberty Belle on its way back to the USA after its England tour in 2008. Here it is flying past the notorious volcanic glacier, "Eyjafjallajökull" that almost stopped commercial flying in the northern hemisphere when it erupted in spring of 2010.
the first (and last) time I saw "Liberty Bell" flying was at Aviation Nation 2007. This Flying Fortress crashed on June, 13th 2011 near Oswego, Illinois.
