This is in reality 44-83624 but was produced too late to see combat in WWII, instead saw extensive service first in a highly secret project that resurrected the idea of using obsolete aircraft as radio-controlled flying bombs (MB-17G) and then as a drone-control aircraft (DB-17G) in the ground-to-air missile development program. After retirement and a seven year restoration she is now on display at the AMC Museum as 'Sleepy Time Gal' from the 381st Bomb Group.

This aircraft is on display as B-17G 42-107112 "Sleepy Time Gal". In reality, it is B-17G 44-83624, which was at Wright Patterson AFB for many years. The AMC Museum received this aircraft in the late 1980's from WPAFB in trade for B-17G 42-32076 "Shoo Shoo Baby", which had been restored by the AMC Museum.
