1941 Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress

Some assembly required. Yours for the low, low price of $9 million.

Airframe:

This B-17E “Flying Fortress” is extremely rare, being one of the few Seattle built Boeing B-17’s surviving to date.  Most of the other surviving B-17’s were built under license by either Lockheed or Douglas. 

Structure: It is estimated that the structure is approximately 80% restored.  The front fusealge including the nose and cockpit still need to be rebuilt.

Restoration work by Vintage Airframes. 

This B-17E was flown to Washington State in 1998 for restoration.  The workmanship to date is second to none. If completed to the same standards, it will be the finest B-17 restoration in the world.

The project is substantially complete with the correct engines and propellers.
