Just saw a B-17 headed Norht over St. Louis. Anyone know which one? Will it be in the St. Louis area this week or was it just leaving and I missed it. It looked like bare metal with Red wing tips? Thanks,

Yankee Lady was in Branson, MO this past weekend, so it was probably her heading home.

It was almost certainly "Yankee Lady" that you saw.

The Yankee Air Force/Museum's C-47 is also currently returning from Branson. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N8704

Thanks guys. That's got to be it. It's been a while since I've heard a B-17 but it got me off my cell phone and out of my car to look up. I sure hate to think there's going to be a day when that sound will be gone forever. I hope it's a long way off. :D
