In reply top B-17 for sale posted by Cees on Wed Jul 17, 2002 05:09:05 AM

When I was there in 1998 "Outhouse Mouse" 44-85734 (ex-engine test bed) was undergoing restoration. In storage in the same hanger was "Suzy Q" 44-83525, which was/is owned by Kermit Weeks. There was also the remains of another B-17 outside of the hanger. If I remember correctly it consisted of the center section of the wing with the four engine mounts. It didn't look great, but it was more or less intact. There may have been other components in storage near by but I didn't see them. Maybe it is this one that was for sale. I have no idea what the id might have been.
