Something I've wondered for years as well.
With the huge resources of the USAF, both monetary and availability of suitable aircraft, it shouldn't break the bank to get a few old aeros flying along the lines of the BBMF, got enough B17's on their hands to get the ball rolling anyway....but how would they decide which types to get flying again, there's almost too many potential types to choose from ?
