This B-17 was one of many used in the film of 1992, 'Memphis Belle'. Sally B played the main role, being the more known Memphis Belle that completed it's 25th bombing mission in May of 1943. Only when a squadron completed 25 missions, would they then be allowed to retire.
Now this Is a sight to see. The B-17 Flying Fortress 'Sally B'. One of the few B-17s that can still get airborne.
Why does it have the 'Memphis Belle' logo you say?
The first plane of the memorial flight. The memorial flight consists of 3 planes. The Lancaster, as shown passing now, is the first.
The second of the three is the Spitfire. If i'm correct it flies on the left side of the Lancaster in formation.
The third of the three is the Hurricane. This flys on the right of the Lancaster in formation (if i'm correct).
