If memory serves, N17W is the B-17F that Boeing rebuilt a few years ago (not that it matters, though.) Some friends of mine bought a B-25 from Mr Burchinal that became a fire-bomber here in Alberta. Not sure where it is now but it is one of the ones that was sold a few years ago when G&M Aircraft got out of the bombing busines.
Thanks for your info.
