Sounds like she is going to a good home , must be a shock to the Museum followers to receive this e mail though. Hopefully the $15m can be put to good use .

Interesting to see a value placed on an aircraft like that.
I know of a couple of B-17 sales in recent years bit have never seen a price given for them.
Considering a Spitfire or Mustang is $3-4 million, $15 million for an airworthy B-17 is to be expected.
It will be interesting to see how much use it gets under a single owner. Large aircraft have such high maintenance and crew requirements, they are almost always operated by a group.
I wish the new owner luck.
