B-17 'Chuckie' Status

[Todd Hackbarth]

I understand that 'Chuckie' had in inflight engine shutdown at the Denton, Texas Air Fair back in May. Has this problem been fixed? Is/was an engine change necessary? Has it attendeded any other events? Where is she now?

Thanks,

Todd

Ouch !

This isn't good. Didn't a thread here say something about one engine running rough back when they were getting Chuckie ready for flight again ?? Hope it isn't serious.

When Doc Hospers said they were coming, I asked how the plane was currently flying, he said "great". Was it a big problem?

he said it was a 10 hr round trip flight, wow.
