N5017N (cn 8649) What was a day I will most likely remember for the rest of my life. I was invited to fly on a reposition flight on Aluminum Overcast from Tulsa up to St. Louis. I then finished a VERY long day non-revving home from STL-IAD-TUL! Worth it? You bet! |

44-83868 / A (cn 32509) Generally I dislike when mannikins are displayed alongside preserved aircraft. In this case, however, I think it works well! |

44-83868 / A (cn 32509) Earlier versions of the B-17 were relatively vunerable to frontal attack by Luftwaffe fighters due to the lack of forward firing guns and the pilots lack of armour. This was rectified in the B-17G by the installation of a chin turret. |

44-83868 / A (cn 32509) This particular aircraft actually served in the USN with VX-4 as 77233 being one of 20 brand new B-17Gs allocated to the Cadillac II programme (landbased long-range Airborne Early Warning, command and control system) until replaced by WV-2 Warning Stars. In 1956 she was converted to a water bomber and flew with Butler Aviation as N5237V. After acquisition by the RAF Museum she was converted to 1944 USAAF configuration and displayed in markings representing the 94th BG, 8th AF based at Bury St. Edmonds. |

F-AZDX / 48846/DS-M/M-J (cn 8246) Two B-17Gs return from another bombing mission, escorted by a "Little Friend". This is not World War Two, but a rare chance to see 2 B-17s in the air together at Duxford Flying Legends - "Pink Lady" and "Liberty Belle". "Sally B" unfortunately had engine problems, preventing three Fortresses from flying together. |
