At most half a dozen, I took this 7 years ago, I was walking the beach
under the overseas flight path from Tweed Hew Haven airport. Different
plane, on it's way to an airshow in England. Bill's image is much
better, mine is a grab shot, with the F 70-210 and *ist-Ds, I didn't
expect the plane, all I heard were the Wasp Radial engines, and suddenly
there it was. I posted it back then, but here's proof that at least a
second B-17 is still flying. Interestingly enough both seem to be the
same later version.
Likely because the later version aircraft entered combat nearer to the
end of the war. The earlier aircraft were scrapped when they were no
longer able to fly missions & the materials recycled to make new aircraft.
Who gave any thought to preserving aircraft as flying museums until
after the war was over?
IIRC this was the center third of the frame.

Quite spectacular. Apparently only a few B17's still airworthy.

This isn't quite my usual fare, but the local flying club invited the
owners of this bird to bring her to our city for the Canada Day weekend.
It was stupidly hot today, so most of the images were rather obliterated
by heat haze, but I got a couple that I thought were OK, this being one
of them.
K1, A*600 f/5.6
ISO 1250, f/22, 1/2000 second.
