re: WWII B-17 flying video

Almost 13,000 B-17 were produced for the war effort. Of those only 46 survive and only 10 are air worthy. In 2019 one of the few air worthy planes. Nine o nine crashed and killed 7. They used to do the honor flights with them here and they are amazing to see flying. However, I am torn because there are so few of them left and any loss of them is a huge loss to history.

A few weeks ago we took the short trip out to the Wendover Air Base and toured their small museum. This is where the B-29 crews trained for the Atomic missions over Japan to end the war. It was a fascinating place, and, in my opinion, worthy of Nation Historic Site preservation by the NPS.
