I saw both the planes flying around New Orleans, LA. I went to meet a
friend at the D-Day Museum, he is one of the staff, and both the B-24 and
the B-17 were making their rounds above the city. It was very impressive.

Jess,
While I am not an expert in WWII anything, or aircraft of any period....I
will offer my opinion....
That 9-0-9 is one of the best restored (representations) military vehicle
anyone will see anywhere. (I say representation since the original 9-0-9 was
scrapped)
The Dragon and his Tail are impressive, but can't hold a candle to the B-17
(9-0-9)...ESPECIALLY when you consider that the Fortress was restored, then
almost destroyed in a mishap on the ground, and basically had to be restored
again!
For those who think that HMV are only ground vehicles, check out the
STUDEBAKER engines on the Fortress, and isn't Colling's B-24 a FORD built
example?
Enjoy these guys while you can.
My .02,
David Doyle
