So which airplane are you all going on about.


I think (to me) it's obvious Frank was referring to the Tallichet backdated G model which hasn't been based at Geneseo for a few years now. :(

You are correct Chris. When I went to geneseo years back, she was there. Would be great to have a b-17 that close again!

Would love to see her come through Wendover, Utah the latter part of the third week of September - the 306th "First over Germany" are having their reunion in Utah and will be visiting Wendover that time of the year!
