I was at the 1987 Beaver County airshow when she went off the end of the runway due to pilot error/crosswinds. She became Beaver County, PA's adopted B-17 as she spent 3+ years being lovingly restored there. My late father & I watched and waited on a cold December morning in 1990 for her to take flight back to FL. We just recently toured her again on the Wings of Freedom tour last month in Butler,PA and I bought a tee shirt of the "909". RIP old bird & crew and thanks for all the memories.

I got to fly on this plane twice from the flight engineers position. Tim Chopp is one hell of a pilot and also flies the world's only flying C-97 "Angel of Deliverance". Nice shot of an awesome plane!

Where were these on the morning of 9/11 to intercept the hi-jacked airliners?
