Boeing B-17, in markings of "Memphis Belle", doing flybys at Geneseo, July 2006.

The B-17 in THIS video is B-17G, tail no. 44-83546, owned by the estate of the late David Tallichet, who passed away in November 2007. Flies as B-17F, tail no. 124485, Memphis Belle Replica.

  • Is this the Memphis belle?

  • @biobob16

    As it says in the drop-down menu video description introduction:

  • For the record, the B-17 that was destroyed making an emergency landing in Illinois on June 13, 2011 WAS NOT this aircraft. The one in question was the "Liberty Belle", flown by the Liberty Foundation.

  • wait, is it, or is it not, memphis belle?

  • @AceX213

    Read the introduction in the drop down menu below the video

  • Fantastic video. It says 2006, but I thought the real Memphis Bell was being restored? Is this a B-17F Memphis Belle replica?

  • @nerdsfn

    That's correct. See the video description in the drop down window for the full story

  • Those B-17's were awesome, some of them could fly back to base even after taking major hits by the enemy. Thanks, Boeing, for creating a LEGEND.

  • everyone should know this is not the actual Belle... that plane is on display at a USAF museum in Ohio after the city of Memphis set it rot outside for over 50 years, so USAF took it back. As the video says, this is another plane with the Belle's markings.

  • That has to be one of the best sounds in the world. A B17!

  • My great uncle flew a B-17...it cauught on fire and Nazis were in it...so he tried to put out the fire while trying to fight them off...but he didnt make it...he was only 23

  • From an aesthetic viewpoint, I've always preferred the B-17 E and F over the G model. I would die to see a flying B-17 D, though!

  • There is still power, here.

  • Best B-17 Ever!!!!

  • i have a t-shirt with this plane =). B17 is awesome machine, greetings from Russia

  • No,this is not the Memphis Belle.The Memphis Belle is undergoing severe reconstruction to be put in the Smithsonian Air Mueseum.

  • 2:17 - 2:24 is some a+ audio. I know it's all good. But I especially like that clip. Pratt Whitney, or a Wright. Both sound great.
