Memphis Belle - The actress

The aircraft that portrayed the Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle" in the 1990 Warner Bros. film. Originally built as Boeing B-17G 44-83546, now on civil registry as N3703G, still modified and painted to represent B-17F "Memphis Belle". Pilot here is Thom Richard, his first flight as B-17 captain.

The photo is taken at sunset over the Shackleford Banks, North Carolina from the ramp of Paraclete Aviation's CASA C-212.

My first aerial shoot in the US, one to remember and one that makes me want to return.
