Memphis belle touring?

Sat Jul 18, 2015 8:39 am

I tried for several months to see when or if the belle was touring for the 2015 season. Website still gives no dates or info. Anybody seen or heard if she's making the rounds this year?

That's amazing that they've got it up and flying again, the last time I saw pictures of it, it was in pieces spread all over the hangar floor at Dayton.

And according to the pics I see online all the time, its flying back and forth to England on an almost daily basis (although the Brits always seem to add a chin turret and checkered cowl.) 8)

There two that I know in the states, the one in Dayton the original which I know that the AF does not fly any of the museums aircraft. Then there's D. Tallichet which was in the remake of the Belle movie made in the UK which i understand has been in Geneso NY. Then I know there is a French one painted for a back up for the move remake. So which airplane are you all going on about.
