Opening Flight,

The beginning has a great flight sequence in it that bears watching too.

It’s a wonderful film, well worth seeing.

As for the aircraft. When the Andrews character and two others get back from overseas, they hitch a ride in a B17E going their way. Lots of good film of that bird too.

The scrapyard scenes were filmed at Chino, CA.

For more here’s author (The Final Cut, a history of B-17 survivors) Scott Thompson’s excellent B-17 site and his page on the film..
