One use to come to our air show here. We only live like three miles from the small airport, I loved watching that plane come in and take off. I have some photos of it on here I think.

Nice...bought for $5997.93 in 1959 and then sold for $250,000 in 1986. What a return on his investment. Except the article doesn't say how much it originally cost to build.
I wonder if this was her
I was shooting a soccer match at a college in New Jersey when this baby came out of nowhere and flew overhead. It was so surreal. I felt the world had reverted to 1942.

It's quite likely.. that seems to have been 2009.. she did a Wheels and Wings tour in Jersey that summer.. I found this.. "Boeing B-17" also declined in price by 1945 to the sum of $187,762Β .. there are like 9 of them flying.. I've seen 3Β and taken a ride in one..This one is based in Michigan but she's been here before.. Collings foundation is based in Mass..but they keep theirs elsewhere (not enough runway in Mass).. but it's been here a few timesΒ , their is called "Nine-O-Nine".. and the other is EAA based out of Oshskosh.. theirs is "Aluminum Overcast" which is the one I took a flight on.
