Note that this is not the original Memphis Belle. It is a later model B-17G painted to look like the Belle. The original Memphis Belle was on display in at the waterfront in Memphis for many years, but has now been reclaimed by the USAF Museum in Dayton.
Note—The Memphis Belle will be spending the winter and the 2008 airshow season based out of the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum located in Geneseo, NY. That is the site of the old National Warbird Museum before the Warbird Museum moved to another city.
