There are only three flying B-24s in the world, a B-24J named Joe of Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida; a B-24A named Ole 927 of Commemorative Air Force in Addison, Texas; and a B-24J named Witchcraft of the Collings Foundation in Stow, Massachusetts. There are five complete airframes on static display in the U.S., five complete airframes on static display outside of the U.S. and nine partial airframes/wrecks in the world.

They were flying B-24J named Witchcraft of the Collings Foundation here a few years ago. Wanted to hitch a ride on her, but they had a beautiful B-25 I could not resist.

24s were a mean looking bomber. My Dad flew as Flight Engineer on the ones converted to AvGas tanker (can’t remember the designation), 50+ missions “Over the Hump” India to China.
