Sorry for the late news, its a rare treat to have two types of B17's in one month, The Nine-O-Nine on Memorial Day weekend, plus this Aluminum Overcast this weekend, if your in the neck of the woods, meaning in Sacramento,CA at Mather, come on out and see these birds, else check the link below for date, time and place near you:)

Beautifully restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast.” This aircraft is an example of the American heavy bomber that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. Fly a mission back in time and feel the might of this magnificent aircraft, just as those brave young men did more than 50 years ago.
