Back in the spring when "909" and the "Tail" came to Addison, Tx (Cavanaugh's) on tour, one on the volunteers for "Chuckie" had stated that they had just indeed taxi'ed the a/c, all four fans turning! That one/two of the engines that had been rebuilt were hung and running. Doc and Chuckie had worked out a deal with Delta Airlines to help with the AD on the spar. He did not really know the status, except that the inspection was not completed. Hope she flies again..... Midland was nice in when we had 5 B-17'S flying in the show. Three of which were Tx based.... Alan
