They are restoring a B-17G o the field. They have a B-25 H (I think it's an H).

These are pics of the restoration.
This is the main spar for the right wing.

Thanks guys.
My son and I would like to be part of restoring that B-17. They'll teach people with no experience to work on it. A very good group.
