Here we have the Memphis Belle, well at least this side it the Memphis Belle. The other side has a different nose art and markings. That way they had "2 different" B-17 to film when making the 1990 movie.

25 warbirds went up for a pass in formation, it was hard to get them all in the same shot.

This is the real deal, not a replica. I guess the reason there are very few real ones is the fact that Germany lost the war, most were destroyed. Depending on the list, there are about 8-10 airworthy.
