Their are a few B-17s up and running but I think FiFi the B-29 and maybe one or two others are the only ones of their ships still touring? Memphis Belle to go on display at Air Force Museum in 2018 The Memphis Belle, a B17F Flying Fortress, is undergoing restoration at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The Memphis Belle is one of the most famous aircraft in history and has become a timeless symbol of all the heroic U.S. Army Air Forces’ bomber crews who flew against Nazi Germany in World War II.

I got inside one briefly at an air show about 15 years ago . pretty cool .
I'd pay $1200 to fly in one, providing I had a parachute on .

Maintenance on the 17 is a lot less than on the 29.
I couldn't afford either one, even to just sit outside and admire. |

I truly appreciate and admire the old warbirds. And the men who flew them.
