Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress "Nine-O-Nine" (actual S/N 44-83575) on final approach to Paine Field in Everett, Washington. Aircraft lost 2 October 2019 with the loss of seven people.
Nine O Nine rounds out the Collings Foundation fleet on the Wings of Freedom Tour in Yakima. It is the first time they have visited here in several years. Mount Baker can be seen in the background.
Nine O Nine comes in to land at Seattle's Boeing Field. Although a Vega-built airframe herself, at the height of the war, sixteen Flying Fortresses were being produced at Boeing's Seattle factory per day.
