Here is 909 as we flew out of LA Harbor which belongs to the Collings Foundation.

This B-17 has the belly gun intact where EAA's B-17 has plywood over the gun so you can walk over it and not have to side step around it. I think I would rather side step.

BTW, anyone know who this guy is in the 3rd picture? I saw him walking about and snapped a couple shots because of the period uniform.
