I’m very happy you restored this B17 as a Operation crossroads veteran.my father in law Morgan Laird was a navy veteran from operation crossroads and pulled the filters out after a mission through an atomic cloud
I'm looking for info on my grandpa's B-17 FiFi of the 8th airforce. ~ Pilot Full Name: Captain John W. Miser (middle name Whitworth) ~ Army Air-Core ID: 0-786605-T43-44 ~ B-17 Name: FiFi ~ NAF: 8th Airforce (The Mighty Eighth) ~ Time Period / Theater: WW2 European Strategic Bombing Campaign This is all the info I have, if you have any info on him or his B17 that would be super awesome.
Most of the parts are donated and custom made by locals. Sentimental Journey, Desert Rat, Starduster as well as Lucky Thirteen are helping with pieces and parts. It has truly been a blessing to be apart of this preservation
Every time I drive highway 99 I look for her and the F-4 phantom 2at the airport. Great show 👍
Just passed by this afternoon on 99SB. She's really looking great!
I saw this aircraft back in 1975 as an 18 year old australian teenager and have never forgotten her. Great work on the restoration.
Thank you for all the hard work saving Preston"s Pride!

Is your father-in-law still with us?
In my DVD I have video of the men pulling the filters off the planes. Might be your father-in-law.
Wow, cool that I found this! I did not know any of this "Forts" history. When stationed at Lemoore I used to drive by her all the time. Thank you!
Great job Greg
Love the custom Air Stair!!!!
I work for a trucking company nearby, and she use to be a fav stop of mine
Boom boom on a parked aircraft doesn’t admit you to the mile high club LOL
Surprised it didn't become a firefighter
