This appears to be 909, the Collings Foundation B-17 that crashed.

Yes. It has special meaning to me. Was a horrible tragedy.

I saw it several times when they came to Marana, just north of Tucson. On one occasion there was a retired major working with them who had been stationed with me here. And once I watched it take off. It was the first and only time I saw one in flight and it was a beautiful experience. The sound was amazing!

I'm fortunate enough to live just south of the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett and during the summers (alas, not this year!), the combat aircraft often fly over my house. I've had the joyous experience of seeing B-17s, B-24s, B-25s, Mustangs, Thunderbolts and the occasional T-6 Texan. They all make an amazing sound! Not all of them are owned by the museum, but they often fly in, especially around July 4th and during the SeaFair in August.

Very nice. I only saw this one once, but was fortunate enough to fly in the EAA's Aluminum Overcast several years ago.

I have an old enlarged photo of 909 that I took of the co-pilot standing proudly next to the boarding ladder. When I visited my storage facility awhile back, just seeing it brought back great memories. You mentioned it was personal. How so? If you don't mind my asking.....
