    Until scientists come up with the type of matter transporters which are used to move people from one place to the other in science fiction, planes will remain the fastest and most efficient way to travel long distances in short spaces of time. All of the world’s major cities have airports, offering flights from one side of the world to another. Not all planes end their lives in an airport hanger though - some of them land in strange locations, before becoming the type of abandoned curiosity you’re about to see in this video.

      Just like when he called the Olympic Airlines 747 an Airbus I think he mispoke and meant to say the only intact complete B-17E variant left in the world. I believe all the remaining intact B-17s in the world in museums and flying are all of the F and G variants. I don't believe there is a E variant anywhere on display. So that may be what he meant to say. Its Definately NOT the only B-17 left.

    I found one in France whilst out for a walk. A plane that crashed in the 1960's coming back from algeria. It is irretrievable has lost its engines and wings but the fuselage is still there. I think it may have been for parachutists.

      I rode in old 909, a B-17 bomber, last June 2018 belonging to the Collings Foundation. It was delightfully noisy, vibrated, was windy, and it filled with the delightful aroma of smoke and aviation fuel when they started the engines. My friend took a selfie out of the top turret at 160mph, a place where many cell phones are sucked out of hands and lost forever on many flights. It was worth the price.
