Memphis Belle is the nickname of a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress that was used during WWII and was one of the first US Army Air Forces bombers to complete 25 combat missions with her crew intact.  This aircraft is named “The Movie Memphis Belle” due to its starring role in the 1989 film Memphis Belle, and is currently based at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, New York.  Nikon D300 w/18-200mm.
