@abbie.cheeseman: There are 6 airworthy B-17s today! I wish they would have preserved this one 🫤 The B-17 Named 5 Grand! #worldwar2 #b17 #avgeek #aviation #planes B-17 covered in signatures
for reference, the B-17 was produced for 11 years and 13,000 were made.
the Boeing 737 has been produced for 57 years and only 11,000 have been built

35 THOUSAND signatures? That’s insane the number of individuals who touched the manufacturing process. They were also built in Kansas City if I’m not mistaken.

The B-17 is also the first aircraft to have a checklist. The aircraft responsible for the invention of the checklist was the Boeing 299, predecessor to the B-17.

Dad went straight from flight school here in Jacksonville to the Pacific Theater.
He retired after surviving WW2 & the Korean War. He flew six years Early Warning over the Artic.
Thankful he survived.
