Short Bier

            B-17G Flying Fortress "Short Bier"

This B-17G, S/N 44-83663 "Short Bier," was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, California, and delivered to the USAAF on May 1, 1945.

After stints serving in South America and in other collections, in the spring of 1987 the plane was acquired for restoration and display at the Hill Aerospace Museum.

Even though the engines were still being "run up" periodically the aircraft had deteriorated to being non-airworthy. The aircraft was dismantled by a crew from Hill AFB and transported back to the base via C-5 Galaxy. There the B-17 was reassembled and restored.  -- Courtesy Airplanes Online.
