This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Any plans for the -17 at Lakland AFB?

I would say that in about 10 years it along with all the other WW2 gate guards out there will be scrapped.

Scott: On your movie list, don't forget about "Passage to Marseille" with Humphrey Bogart. The movie starts with a night raid of supposedly British B-17s (possibly E models?), it then flashes back through the whole story, and then returns to the present when the Fortresses return to base. The Fortress had the radio call "V 4 Victor", which of course, was a not so subtle analogy for "V for Victory".
I haven't seen the movie in quite some time, but it would be interesting to see which Fortresses were involved.

Hmmm....I knew about that one and thought I had added it. I will make it so, eventually. Thanks for the head's up.
