B-17 Texas Raiders

Does anyone know when the B-17 Texas Raiders will be flying again. I know she has been down for some AD work on the wing spars since late 2001?

I spoke with a crew memeber at Airsho, and he said they keep on finding more and more corrosion as they go. The best estimate at this time is $100k and 9-12 months before she flys again.
