Peter,

The B-17 you saw is B-17G-85-DL 44-83546, N3703G. It is owned by the Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation (MARC) which is headed by Mr. David Tallichet. I believe the aircraft is currently based near Akron, Ohio. It is in Canada to have the B-17 Wing Spar AD Note done by a company located there. I know the copilot who flew it in. You mentioned a "small fire burning" in the #1 exhaust. Was there any damage, or was it just "Torching" of the exhaust?
