Just think about this. In a few years when Texas Raiders, Aluminum Overcast and Paul Allen's B-17E are flying again, is there a posibility of having 11 B-17's at the show? And if Miss Angela were to show up: 12!

Yo Pat, where did Paul Allen get a B-17E and about when will it be flying? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't believe Boeing Bee has flown in several years... I believe that she has been permanently grounded by the Museum of Flight, though not for mechanical reasons that I am aware of. Anyone have more details?

Purchased the Bolivian E that Whittington brought up from Bolivia in 1990 and had owned since then.

This was a former Kenting machine. For more information check out Warbirds Digest issue #4.
