  I had a pleasant experience the other day while mucking around off 
Tybee Island, Georgia, USA.  I took a break and rested on my back deck 
with my paddle across my chest when I heard an unusual, almost haunting 
droning.  I squinted North and saw a silver WWII B-17 Flying Fortress 
going South just a few hundred feet over my head! It was kind of surreal 
to lie there rocking slowly looking at that old plane go by.  I gently 
waved my paddle. I was hoping for a wing waggle but didn't get my wish...
