“The Movie Memphis Belle” seen on her 2013 tour that brought her out to the West Coast. 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. Delivered too late for combat, this aircraft was converted to one of 25 CB-17G troop transports, and then converted again to one of eight VB-17G VIP transport aircraft before retirement in 1959.  Nikon D300 w/18-200mm.
