You regulars have probably seen the first few updates. I've been flying to Urbana periodically for a great burger and to check on the B-17. Here it is as of  Aug 14, 2007.....


Also, a bonus... when we landed, there were 2 B-25s up by the restaurant (see the B-25 threat)..



Yours truly, near the nose...

Still a long way to go, but she will be amazing when done!

I'm always surprised to see they get those old, battered engines in working condition again!

Always nice to see some hope for an old Fort.
