B 17 coming to australia?

[sabredriver]

Rumours abound Liberty Bell coming to Australia on a tour or a outright purchase?

[JägerMarty]

Sweet as if it's true

[B25PBYGUY]

Well, the airplane hasn't been purchased!

[JimH]

I know a guy that knows a guy that said its a very distinct rumor

It makes sense in a way; the owner already owns another B-17 and a sale of this nature would ensure it's expidited restoration to airworthy status. But of course it is just rumor.

Interestingly enough, it just taxied past my office widow here at Charleston about an hour ago. I hear they will be selling rides this weekend. Maybe I should go over and see if they need any help.

NEON,

Welcome back today, I spoke to a guy who knows another guys uncle's aunt that knows a guy in Australia that said....................

I figured someone would have scooped and posted the sale of Glacier Girl buy now.

[Mike]

WHAT???? Are you trying to say Glacier Girl has been sold?

Allegedly.

If the hints that have been dropped on another board turn out to be true, I'd keep a close eye on the Provenance website for more news.

Hey gary...good to be back...sorry we were not around longer...but the wing house and alcohol were calling us....been a long year. anyway...I know another guy that says a certain .......... was asked to go to australia...and for those wondering, I know for sure Liberty Belle is NOT for sale, nor has been sold...as for Glacier Girl, I know another guy that says....god I love warbirds.

Jim Harley......if I could only divulge all I know...hush hush

the A-36 is going to be quite the piece of gear...American Aero is setting a benchmark for mustang restorations with this one!!!!

Hmmm... just what have those Liberty Belle folks been up to all these many months?

[oscardeuce]

WoW,

the prices just keep going up.

[B25PBYGUY]

Yes, proportionate with direct operating expenses.

[Chuck Giese]

I'm fairly certain that the Liberty Belle has not been sold, although I only work here, nobody tells me nothin' Restoraion continues on the Dyke Lake B-17, although right now finishing the P-40 and getting it flying has priority.

I plan to be with the Liberty Belle at the Jacksonville stop next weekend.

Hello Chuck

Do you have some information about the restoration of the Dyke Lake B-17 ?
(I had found nothing in the web about it)
Tanks

And Chuck ~ do you know if the Belle is spending the winter at Fantasy of Flight like last year ?

If she is about to head off to Australia in 2007 ~ this might be the last chance to take a ride for some time !
