B17G - Work in Progress

The following are two images of the B-17G being re-built in Kissimmee, Florida, USA. This aircraft was used, post World War II, as a turboprop engine test-bed. The turboprop engine was installed in the nose, and by itself could pull the airplane faster than a normal B-17 could fly on four engines.
The plane was recently pulled out of the hangar. Yes, to the question no one has asked yet, that is a Mig-21 in the background.
