The actress Swoosie Kurtz was named after this aircraft, as she is the daughter of the pilot.

You gentlemen are extremely fortunate to be able to take part in seeing this beautiful bird take flight again. Ive seen B29 FROZEN IN TIME..The Kee-bird met a sad end due to the pilot -Daryl whatsisface being in a hurry- bouncing that poor aircraft like a ping-pong ball.They had a ghetto set up for auxiliary power and it caugt fire. It BURNED to the ground because of him..

Kyra Sedgwick, Kevin Bacons wife is also related to the pilot of this aircraft ( I think ). Comment below does reference his actress daughter Swooze , I probably getting too many late night TV shows mixed up.. I hope they just restore and not fly it.

No, the actress you're thinking is "Swoosie" Kurtz, daughter of the pilot, Frank Kurtz, that flew the Swoose in the Philippines and Australia at the beginning of WW2. She was named after the plane.

Please keep them coming! It's very exciting. Perhaps you could make the videos cumulative - each new stage is added to the previous one, and the video becomes longer and more complete.

The US Air Force melted down about 20,000 good B-17s and B-24s after WW2 to make little puddles of aluminum. Why didn't they save about 500 of each plane?????

Today's tradesmen are still building and fixing everything that needs to be built and fixed. As a teacher I'm still promoting the trades as being equal to a college education (because they are), and so are many others nationwide.

@@kmoecub I think we condition to many of our children to go to university vs trades they just shut a trade school down near me a few years back. sure there are some they are aged and the young ones are far a few between we could not even produce at the scale of ww2 not enough machinist in this day and age. IMPO keep supporting trades your doing the right thing

@gordonbergslien30 21 сағат бұрын
The government's position is that historic a/c are too valuable to fly. As a result, a/c at the NASM, Air Force Museum and Naval Aviation museum are strictly static. I go round and round with this. Old airplanes are cool to see in museums and very cool to see fly at airshows but when you have one strapped to your butt and go for a spin... I have no words other than to say it's like it's alive! Yes, l know how lucky l am!

There is a Great Movie of this Type of B-17 ( The Shark Fin Tail B-17) from 1943 " AIRFORCE " It is Very Loosely Based on the 19th Bomb Group, Which Flew During the Early Months of World War 2 in the Pacific Theater ! The Star of the Movie is the B-17C the " Mary-Ann " ! The "Swoose " Is a B-17D ! I am So Looking Forward to The Completion of This Historic Aircraft!

I know it's naive to muse about, but I like to see and to hear this icon flying. And when I think about it I have always the same picture in my head of two beasts, coming out of the sunset. On the ground, and on full steam ahead, Big Boy nb. 4014, and above, breaking through the cloud of smoke and in low Level flight with six turnin' and four burnin': a B 36. Amen.
