NICE...how many B-17's are still flying these days?

 

[Robert Porter]

According to this 12 are still flying. B-17 Flying Fortress surviving aircraft, serial numbers, names, location, museums, and restoration status

Six B-17's must have been a site (and sound) to see !

Wasn't it 'Fuddy Duddy' that was lost after burning-out in a filed after a forced landing ?
There's also 'Sally B' in the UK and one French-based B-17 that, although airworthy, has been grounded, I think through lack of funds.

 

[Robert Porter]

Yep! She was a total loss after that forced landing and fire as I recall.

 

[Airframes]

Yes, a very sad sight to see, and a great loss.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

It was Liberty Belle that forced landed and burnt out, not Fuddy Duddy..

Thanks Jeff. I should have known which one it was, as I saved this pic at the time.
