When I was stationed at Dover AFB, I got to help a little on Shoo Shoo Baby...but at that time, she was in pretty bad shape...I understand she’s now at WPAFB.

It’s there, all pretty. Another B-17 being worked on, an earlier model, and faster, is one named SWOOSE.
The nose art is a goose with a long neck. Someone said it looked like a cross between a goose and a swan, a swoose. Lol
A long way to go to display that one.

If you ever want to go to the Museum, the Restoration tour is really fascinating. Have to sign up and reserve online. Max number each tour is 38. Tours are Friday at noon only.
