Thanks. I was there visiting my in-laws and when I asked them about the plane, they told me this guy got a gov't grant to fully restore the it to be used as a "rolling museum". Now, I just have to find out where to get the paperwork!

Very nice photos. Shame about the weather but this might add to the effect. The B-17 was often operated in much worse conditions than these. Just imagine what it was like setting out for a mission from a muddy airfield in this sort of weather in the middle of winter.

Nice pictures in spite of the overcast which obscures the detail. I wonder how many actually know that those gun barrels you're staring at in the second picture are sticking out through some giant zippers.

Indeed. A very clever idea.
