By my count, there are at present only seven airworthy B-17s in the US. A little research might identify which one it was.

Yep...only a small handful still flying.
That’s why I was so amazed to see one flying right over my shop.
Once I stopped staring in awe as it continued eastward, I checked to see if it might be on the FlightAware app.
It was N7227C: The Texas Raiders out of the Conroe, TX area....probably on it’s way to an air show somewhere.
Made my day, for sure. :)
