This is the only flyable B-17F left in the world, now preserved at the Museum of Flight in Seattle (a mile from where she was built in 1943) after restoration beginning in 1991 to original condition as 42-29782. A civilian career followed a post-war period in a public park in Stuttgart, AK began in 1953 and included crop spaying, fire fighting and appearances in three films, the last of which involved ferrying to the UK for the making of 'Memphis Belle' in 1989

This aircraft is on display as B-17G 42-107112 "Sleepy Time Gal". In reality, it is B-17G 44-83624, which was at Wright Patterson AFB for many years. The AMC Museum received this aircraft in the late 1980's from WPAFB in trade for B-17G 42-32076 "Shoo Shoo Baby", which had been restored by the AMC Museum.

Built by Douglas at Long Beach. Served at Great Ashfield, Suffolk, with the 550 Bomb Squadron, 385 BG (Heavy) of the 3rd Bombardment Division of the 8th Air Force. By this date the B-17s were delivered in all-metallic finish and the USAAF retained it for the raids on Germany, escorted by the P-51's. Obtained from the USAF 50 years ago.

Seen at the marvellous, Wings Over Gillespie airshow, Sentimental Journey taxies in after landing. Remarkably, this aircraft was doing pleasure flights of about 45 minute duration at $495. I was told that every enthusiast should make such a flight before they died. This, for me, would probably have been at the point at which I told my Wife !
