Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. Probably the later "G" Version. Looks like she has a chin mounted turret.

It got the "chin" gun after it took a guided tour down an embankment off the end of a runway in the early 90's...

You are correct. It was the Collings Foundation B-17. They were in the area and it was on the evening revenue generating flight. The B-24 flew over the next night.
Love that sound!

I never saw a vintage WWII Bomber flying. Surely an impressive sight. Here in Germany I see an original Junkers Ju-52 flying around from time to time. Only three engines, but still sounds great. Although she does not have the original BMW engines installed anymore. They were replaced by Pratt & Whittney engines.
