...build in 44 by Douglas, and served in the Pacific, after the war went to Eglin in Fla, for air sea rescue, in 59 it went 9into storage, and then was sold to a Ca. company for service as a borate bomber flyin thousands of sorties against forest fires...
In 78 it was donated to the Arz wing of the confederate air force, now the commemorative air force, it was disasembled, and then painstakingly restored to its WWII configuration...

Had a B-17 here in Minneapolis last Saturday for an air show with a lot of other old warbirds. I didn't go but I think there were also a B-24, B-25, some P-51's, A corsair, spitfire and a P-47. A ride in the B-17 here was $350. You New York staters must have more sheckels than us in flyover land.
