Photos Taken in Jan. 1987 at Falcon Field Mesa, AZ. I saw her again at the National Warplanes Museum in Geneseo, NY in 1988 along with 5 other B-17s. She was still in her fire bomber paint scheme at Geneseo.

Nice.

I had the pleasure of flying in this one with the late Bob Richardson from Duxford as waist gunner as an extra during the filming of 'Memphis Belle' in the summer of 1989. Happy times!
