M35 with some other military metal

My buddy works at the Florida Air Museum and asked me to bring my truck out this past weekend - they had a B-17 flying in . . . . and of course I was happy to oblige!

Nice pics! Do you know what the name of the B-17 was? (or serial number) I love those Stearmans too! I went up in a 1943 Navy trainer once!

I believe that airplane was redesignated the F-107 Sea Dart after 1962, when the Armed Forces decided to standardize a lot of the nomenclature of the aircraft and vehicles they used. The letters and numbers were starting to get confusing.

Here is the link to the Sea Dart page on their website . . . . . it is an odd bird, for sure! http://www.sun-n-fun.org/content/interior.asp?section=museum&body=planes/seadart
