The EAA B-17G "Aluminum Overcast" returned to the Caldwell, Idaho, airport in the rich amber of a sunset filled with smoke from wildfires in neighboring Oregon. The rare bomber was scheduled to be at Caldwell through much of the weekend. A small number of B-17s fly at air shows and events around the United States each summer season. Most are former agricultural and firefighting aircraft, saved from the scrapper because of their usefulness in these civilian roles a half-century ago. Have you subscribed to Airailimages on YouTube?
