Forteresse Toujours Volante Paris, France
The B-17 Pink Lady shown on final approach to landing. The Pink Lady has
been based at the Paris Orly Airport for many years. She has been at
staple at European airshows for many years. The future of the Pink Lady
is a bit cloudy. First, her only qualified pilot has retired, and there
are no other B-17 rated pilots in France. Second, insurance rates have
gone though the roof. As of spring 2008, it looks like the Lady will
move back to Paris Orly, and be more or less a static display in a local
airplane museum. She will be brought out to fly only on special occasions.
