Historic B17 flies at Olive Branch Airport

12,731 B17 bombers were produced by Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed from 1936 until 1945.  More than 800 were lost in combat and training, the remainder were stored and later scrapped.  Today, only 13 are in flying condition.  One of those is at the Olive Branch Airport this weekend.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
