Surviving B-17s

As of Dec. 2004 there are now 15 flyable B-17s in the world, out of these only 14 still fly. The 14th is the last B-17 F in the world. This airplane belongs to the Boeing Aircraft Company,and is in perfect flying condition. However, by all accounts, it will never fly again. Since making the film one more B-17 has joined the B-17 fleet that still flies.
