By #1 I assume you are refering to the original Model 299?

The very first picture on todays thread is the 299 IIRC.

Here is a side view, hat tip to the US Air Force for the pics

I have not found a roll out pic on the web

Nice thread for lazy Sunday. I've always liked the looks of the B-17 for its genre. Not much room inside, though!

A couple of months ago I looked out my window on the 12th floor and saw a B-17 fly by. Imagine my surprise! Turned out it was here for an air show. I'm so used to seeing jets, it was fun to watch an old four engine prop job lumber by.

I hope everyone is enjoying a lazy Sunday. Perfect weather here this weekend, mid-80's and dry. And the Broncos and Rockies both won!

A month or so ago Sam and I got to see this B-17 take off and land. Cool.
























Guess who at the 50 cal waist gun?
