Jump to postI believe that Kermit Weeks B-24 is still airworthy but not flown. There are 12 airworthy B-17s. Ten here in the US and two in Europe. The Thunder Over Michigan airshow has 7 B-17s booked with the possibility of 2 more. Also has the Collings B-24. It's going to be a great show!

Jump to postJust reread the post about the F-15s and noticed it said F-15As. The 102nd FW at Otis recently converted to the F-15C so yes the A models I would think are now at the boneyard.

the VC-121 that Eisenhower was on. Airliners use their flight number as part of their call sign while other aircraft use their tail number or registration.
