French B-17s

I was wondering if the B17 in the LeBourget museum was on display or is it in storage. If it is in storage is it still possible to view. Also, is Pink Lady available for public viewing?

Thanks and merry Christmas!

Like Septic said, Pink Lady is on maintenance at Orly, Wings are dismounted to analyse some structural parts. I hope we could see this B-17G in flight during the 2004 airshow season

Here some photos of the Pink Lady taken last summer at La Ferté Airshow

Ross,

Unfortunately the Le Bourget B17 F-BGSO is not on public display, it is held in storage on the other side of the airfield @ Dugny. Although there is an excellent open weekend during September.

Pink Lady is currently undergoing some main spar examination. There was a thread about this a few weeks back.
