That’s one of the planes in the fleet belonging to the Collings Foundation.

I’ve actually ridden in that one as well as their restored B-17. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience and well worth the cost of the donation.

Imagine at one time that the sky was full of them. They could put a thousand of them against one target in Germany, so many that they had to invent the term “bomber stream” to describe it.

Wow! He looks like one very happy man! Usually only children have that amazed look of wonderment. I’m sure it brought back many memories.
