I heartily agree. I've loved that plane since I was a kid. It's still number one in my book.
I skipped school for a week back in 76 to work on that very plane in griffin georgia.She had just been sold and I helped build a new wooden floor for her.I lost credit for that quarter of school but I found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.Fair trade I think.I now manufacture new parts for B-17 restorations and loving it.
