Unless I'm wrong, I believe this is the only B-17G to be restored back to her atomic testing markings- no, it may not be quite as "sexy" as an 8th AF scheme, but it is RIGHT and historically accurate, and the entire team deserves massive kudos for this choice, as well as for the efforts they've invested to turn this once-ratty Fort into a beautiful, sparkling attraction. Lots more to be done, for sure, but I feel very good about the future of Preston's Pride.

Well done!

Now to find the original 15th AF markings for the March Field B-17. Since a lot of her sisters went to the 483rd BG, that's a good chance she was originally assigned that group
