Any plausible rumors on how many & which B-17s are attending?
The Grimes Field FB page posted today that there currently is not going to be a B-17 gathering:
"Currently we have one B-17 coming in in May. Do not believe the stories you hear about a big gathering, currently it is not happening. Grimes field airport is hosting the Yankee lady here Monday and Tuesday, May 14 and 15th and again Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20th., so far I have yet to see anyone put up any money claiming they’re sponsoring."
As stated Yankee Lady will be at Grimes. The only other B-17 to announce they will be in Dayton that week is Aluminum Overcast on May 19-20 and at Wright Brothers Airport, which is about 60 miles south of Urbana. A couple of B-17s that won't be there are Texas Raiders that is scheduled to be in Albuquerque May 14-17 and Amarillo May 18-20 and 909 that will be in CA at Santa Ana May 13 and Mountain View May 18-26. None of the other B-17s have put out their 2018 schedules.
