It is good to see such an iconic plane in flight, Paul. Thank you for posting the link to the video.

Perhaps someone might persuade the owner to bring it to an airshow in the U.K. soon.

I second both of those points.

I have loved the Schwalbe from the moment I set eyes on it.

The pilot gave it it a good work out.

Beautiful plane. Back in the 1980s I used to crew on a B-17 for airshows. A wonderful perk is getting to meet veterans that flew B-17s and other planes. I remember talking to one B-17 flight engineer whose job was operating the top turret. He said they knew they were in trouble when the ME 262s would streak through their formation and the turrets couldn't keep up with them. This is amazing for if you have ever seen a sperry top turret operate they fly.

**Naharaht** · 10-14-2018 09:20

I wonder if they will be used in a movie. Can Hollywood resist their appeal?

**Shadowcat** · 10-14-2018 16:07

Knew there was a flying one with new engines. Seen on You Tube they have one with rebuilt original engines almost ready to go. If I remember right one engine was done and they are working on the second one.
