Remembering my Dad, TSgt Robert Burns, who was a waist gunner for 3 missions; ball turret 17 missions; Togglier/Bombardier for 15missionsWWII stationed at Grafton Underwood USAAF Base 106, England June 1944-December 1944. Went on to serve USAF for 20 years. Thank you for this video!

Grandfather was bombardier during WW2 in a B17, Member of the 379th, Blue Blazing Blizzard.

My dad was a bombardier in "Old Ironsides" - Pisa and Messina Italy, not sure where else. I think there were a few different Old Ironsides.

It was on display for years. It was being restored.

E' statico!

was this filmed in micheal j fox vision?

The Memphis Belle is at the USAF Museum near Dayton, Ohio undergoing restoration after sitting outside in Memphis for 25+ years.

The B-17G is the most beautiful aircraft ever built.

the belle is on display at the smithsonian museum

LOL! Right on!

@hearts76100 they could fly on only one enige but that was really hard to do but it was possible

@shreader327 The aircraft is undergoing extensive restoration at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. Thank god for wikipedia;]

World War II radial engines firing up! How sweet the sound and what a beautiful bird is the magnificent B-17 Flying Fortress.

This is the Yankee Lady, 1 of 13 flyable today. Its home is Belleville Michigan at Willow run airport. They offer rides and ive been in it. its truely a blast, come see it!!!

Beautifull.

@shreader327 Yes, i it's in a museum and was been restored if i'm not mistaken.

Oh and if i was a billionaire, i would have every WW2 plane restored and flying!

That plane is so fucking beautiful!!!!!!!

good god global warming much? but no in all reality awsome bomer

@shreader327 the last i heard/read she is at the United States Air Force History Museum in Dayton, Ohio undergoing restoration. Awesome museum, if you haven't been there I recommend taking a visit if you have the opportunity. And the movie made about the plane is my all time favorite movie. Ever.

@ad356 couldnt agree more

Next time don't let the guy with Parkinson's hold the camera.

I THINK THAT IT is on display in Memphis.

@shreader327 apparently yes

To clear a few things up. The Memphis belle is in fact, in Dayton Ohio for restoration. As far as parts missing, it was well before the restoration began. They were taken back in the 60's. Once word got out, that it was going to be restored back to flyable condition, the then "thief" turned in an entire milk crate of parts including some of the avionics. The belle is being restored, using virtually all of it's own parts. Most are restored using multiple planes.

Artilharia pesada!!!!!!!!!

lovely sound...

@shreader327 yup. currently under restoration at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.

My friend, Glenn, flew that EXACT B-17!

DAMN JET. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT SHIT

@shreader327 yes it is. the real memphis belle will never be flown again, but there is a b17 painted like memphis belle that is flown regurally. she is based at geneseo, ny. i vist her often

feather the props on engine1 !!

@sekiryu It was removed from Memphis because it was not being properly cared for there. It is now getting the proper restoration it deserves. One of the problems faced by the National Museum of the USAF is all the parts that went missing while being "restored" in Memphis. Sorry, but the Belle is much, much better off in Ohio.

They that's the aluminum overcast!

Sound of freedom!!!

@shreader327 I think shes in the smithsosaion

@shreader327 The real Memphis Belle is being restored in the national USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio. There is another one painted in the same markings that is still flying.

The Memphis is being restored in Dayton,Ohio I think it will be a long time before they have it ready for display

it is in a museum in Ohio

does anyone know if the memphis Belle is still in existence?

The B17, the DC-3 and the Bell 47 are undoubtely the most beautiful "air things" created by man

A sound never to get tired of!

Dusted that clay

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I KNOW!!!! AWESOME!

I think you might need a little more firepower. Seemed a little weak.

kick-ass

That's manly.

While stationed in the UK we went to Duxford many times and was pleased to watch the Sally B land and taxi up to her hardstand. Where we just happen to be standing!

All in all, 36 cylinders!!
