though the past couple of years had been promising to see the plane restored, you can forget about it.
A restoration would cost about 8.5 million, and they had only raised 500k.
Now that the gas station and restaurant have closed for good, I expect to learn that the few useful parts of the plane will be sold off to help in restorations of other B 17s. The engines were the lowest run time hours of any known B 17 engines
