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

Planes of Fame is currently in the process of raising funds to get their B-17G flyable. You would think that if someone came by with enough $ to expidite the process, part ownership might be attainable. I don't see anyone wanting to get rid of their flyable B-17 anytime soon.
The Lackland B-17 is indeed Air Force property. A lot of fiberglass and paint have made it look great as a lawn display over the years. Might not be the most authentic looking example, but painted windows and clear-coated skin keeps this bird protected a lot better than most outdoor displays.
There are no plans, that I am aware of, to make any USAF-owned B-17 operable.
