The Experimental Aircraft Association's restored 1944 Boeing B-17G "Aluminum Overcast" is again making a California Tour this year. I toured N5017N 20 April 2010 when it came to nearby OXR and took many photos. The very popular N5017N has 326 photos of it on this site as I write this. The event is a great photo-Op whether you buy a ride or not.
Revenues from the B-17 tour help cover maintenance and operations costs for the aircraft and "Keep 'em Flying".
