Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress (N5017N) - "Aluminum Overcast" smocks her landing at Ankeny Regional Airport with passengers on board. This aircraft is on a nation-wide tour offering people the opertunity to ride in this beauty. When this aircraft came to my area, I jumped on the opportunity to photograph it.

Jesse, this B17 is "Aluminum Overcast". As this is a starboard side shot the name of the aircraft is not shown on this side.
