I assume that the B-17 isn't a concern to Mr. allen yet until he has a large enough location to display her properly. Probably a round three or four level expansion.

I do believe the OP had to do with the two wrecked A6M fuselage/wings sitting outside the hangar a week ago. One appears to be an A6M5-52, along with a Sakae 12 and 21 (also looking like a fresh wreck). It's a great day when Paine Field is home to twice as many Zeros (in any condition) as Mustangs. :lol:

You will probably have wings before that B-17 does The tail turret and ball turret are probably the only parts you will see and they are on display now.

Yep, that's pretty much what I've always thought.
Someone should have had Paul Allen promise a few years back that he'd have the B-17 finished right after his Seahawks won the superbowl... pop2
