I was recently at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, NY.  They had
one of these two B-17's on hand.  I was informed that the plane had been
left there by the owner for repairs, was used in the film (and had
flown across the Atlantic - it is that good shape), and was now off to
Seattle for the the Boeing Museum.  The sad part is that is will be
deactivated for a static display.  I think that people in Seattle should
protest the destruction of a dwindling aeronautic species.
