Photos of the Bomber. Yes, it is being restored as I understand. If you are on FB there is a B-17 group or two that posts pics daily of various planes. It's worth checking into.
I was lucky this year as 3 of the restored ones came to the area and I got to see two of them.

The one in the photo is 909 which was traveling with a B-24 (that is where the photo was taken) and a PB-51. Early I got to see the Movie Memphis Belle and did see Aluminum Overcast fly overhead.
