This is actually B-17G 44-83872. After construction, it was transferred new to the US Navy which modified it to a PB-1W airborne early warning a/c with BuNo 77235. Retired from the USN in 1955 and sold to the civilian market where it was used as an aerial survey a/c. Sold to the CAF in 1967 and initially marked as a B-17 from the 305th BG, as seen here.

Army Air Force P-63F 43-11719 was bought surplus after WWII by Harold Pemberton and flown in the 1946 Thompson Trophy Race registered NX1719. Registered N1719, N443 and N447AG over the years, it raced at Reno registered N6763 in the late 70s.

Sadly she was destroyed in a midair collision with B-17 N7227C on 12 November 2022.
