I have had the honor of wrenching on this old gal back in the 90's when a wing clipped a tacan building after brakes failed on landing at Fayetteville. Thanks for a beautiful photo...View attachment 503903
B-17G Flying Fortress 44-83546 built 1945 civilian registration N3703G Owned by Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation.
This G model was cosmetically changed in order to become a movie star and has never been changed back to resemble the G model. She is currently based out of Geneseo New York (D52) and is often mistaken for the real MB. She is looking fairly worn which in my opinion makes her look better than all these shiny toys flown by mega rich boys.
Photo taken Friday July13th at Geneseo New York.

I don't know who gave this photo a dumb rating since all AT6/SNJ/Harvard shots get bacon from me. Let's staple their googlies to the floor.View attachment 505346

I know who it was, I just don't know why it was. I hope it was a mistake but if not, life goes on and so will the photos in this thread.I don't know who gave this photo a dumb rating since all AT6/SNJ/Harvard shots get bacon from me. Let's staple their googlies to the floor.
I agree and thanks for taking it off.IMHO it was given accidentally. Removed.
I intend to stock up heavily then as I can't get enough of those. I used to go to Reno just to see the AT6/SNJ Class racing.I know who it was, I just don't know why it was. I hope it was a mistake but if not, life goes on and so will the photos in this thread.
PS. Better buy lots of bacon cause this has been a huge AT6/SNJ/Harvard year for me and you will get to see them all over the next few months.
