Not only that, it was an entire bomber convention.  They had a B-24, a B25, a B29, 36, 50, 52 and even a B-70.  The field was barely strong enough to support 'em.

I flew on a B-17 about 4 years ago, it was one of the Collins foundation restoration projects. I was aw stricken with the acceleration rate those 4 nine cylinder engines produced.

With full bomb load they didn't excelarate so fast.  But, it had to be an experience to fly in one. H^^

Yes, Dave would be more than welcome to fly the B-17 in competition. He will have to start all the motors by himself though!

It looks like he is campaigning for that honor.  He better hit the weights first though.
