This is the B-17 "Aluminum Overcast", at the Santa Barbara Airport on 4/25/2010. I posted these pictures earlier, but decided to consolidate them all to a single post. Click on the pictures to see them full size.
Above: Cockpit from the port side.
Above: Technical specifications and crew positions.
Above: Ball turret closeup. Note the Nazi swastika on the right side of the turret. That means a Luftwaffe pilot had a VERY bad day.
Above: Cockpit interior. Hard to see in this picture, but some of the modern equipment present includes GPS and satellite radio. The satellite radio is used to provide consistent weather reports.
