This airframe is actually a composite of parts from six aircraft. Many sections and parts are also being scratch-built using original blueprints. Airframe is identified as 44-83722 since that plane supplied the bulk of the parts, but they are adopting another parts bird, 44-85813, as their s/n. Other aircraft used are: 44-83316, 44-83525, 44-85505, 44-85734.

A Lockheed-Vega built B-17 that rolled off the production line in July 1945. Delivered but stored and not put into service, the aircraft was instead transferred to the US Coast Guard as bu 77255 with 15 other B-17s in 1946. Struck off strength in 1959, it went via Ace Smelting Inc to Fairchild Aerial Surveys (1959 - 65), Biegert Bros. (1965 - 66) as a sprayer and Aircraft Specialties (1966 - 81) for air tanker conversion. Global Air operated the tanker (1981 - 86) before it was acquired by the Yankee Air Museum. There it was rebuilt to near WWII condition and is a current flying artifact.
