Kermit Week's Fantasy of Flight Museum has B-17G (44-83542). The museum is between Orlando and Tampa.
1400 Broadway Blvd. S.E. Polk City, FL. 33868
The Flying Tigers Warbird Museum has 3 on site and is just outside Disneyworld.
B-17G 44-85813 which is being used as a parts source for
B-17G 44-85734 which is under restoration to flying condition.
B-17G 44-83525 is also there for restoration after hurricane damage and vandalism, she belongs to Kermit Weeks at the previous museum.
The address is 231 N. Hoagland Blvd. Kissimmee, FL 34741.
And finally, there is B-17G 44-83863 at the Air Force Armament Museum, Elgin AFB.
Hope that helps,
Paul

Thank you for responding. My Uncle was a co-pilot with the 615th and died when I was 8 . I have found much information about him from this association, and have gotten his records. I would really like to see a b-17 and I believe that now I will!!
Thanks again
Dennis Brinson
FYI His name was 2nd Lieutenant Joseph Stevenson

Just a line to see how you got on in Florida on your search for a Fortress.
All the best,
Paul
