    That is saddening to read. For, it's not like they're building replacement B-17s anymore.

    Yes, prior to today there were less than a dozen still airworthy...Indications are that it was Nine-O-Nine, but I can't confirm because the Collings Foundation site is down from so much sudden traffic...If so, Cap'n Mike will remember it from the attached photo...Other photos of it here......Ben
