Big news from NMUSAF and NASM on B-17 "Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby."
Quote:
National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution restoration crews begin to disassemble the Boeing B-17G Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby. Plans call for NASM to ship the aircraft in sections to Washington, D.C. from here at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
In 1968 Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby was found abandoned in France, and the French government presented the airplane to the U.S. Air Force. In July 1978 the 512th Military Airlift Wing moved it to Dover Air Force Base, Del., for restoration by the volunteers of the 512th Antique Restoration Group. After a massive 10-year job of restoration to flying condition, the aircraft was flown to the museum in October 1988.
