Can't find a link and the NMUSAF site doesn't have anything but someone on FB says she is resting on her gear for the first time in 10 years. Boy when she is done will that be awesome! I am not sure if any of the remaining B17s have seen battle but this historic bird would be special to see flying! I would sure love to see it!

the "Swoose",the last shark tailed B17D in existence, which served as a general's transport and barely escaped the Philipines before they fell,is being restored in lockstep with the Belle.
The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!
