VH-IPB flew with IPEC from 1978 to May 1990, was leased to Safe-Air in New Zealand as ZK-SAL for a few months and then scrapped.

I'll never tire of looking at the B-17s, such amazing aircraft.

Every time I see a picture of a 17 it makes me sad about 909.

the afterburner flare on the runway never fails to impress! Congrats on a great photo!

Built in 1966 and had a varied history before ending up in Australia. I too remember them in the south of England doing cross-channel work. Ugly maybe, but practical for the job it had to do.

There is ugly and there is UGLY! Probably functionally efficient but man oh man. The Brits were quite proficient at developing ugly ducklings during the 50s and 60s

The 162nd ANG squadron at KTUS still keeps an F-100 Super Sabre outside the station's entrance!

What a bird. Approaching old age @ 53 and doing charity work. Wonderful. Last flight I believe was to post-earthquake Haiti.

I remember seeing this particular plane flying in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne and I think Canberra in the late 70s, early 80s. Always loved seeing it. It looked uncomfortable on the ground but just fine once it was airborne.

The modern avionics, the large windows and the weight and balance performance are awesome. As for the long run safety performance , is to be seen in the future. The two top engines are very close to each other .

As a young boy I remember seeing a number of these things near Southend-on-Sea in England at an airport where cars were loaded for trips across the English Channel to France decades before the Chunnel trains and auto passage. I think it was probably around 1963-64.

I got bumped up to the top on a JAL 747 flight from ORD to Tokyo. The upper deck is very spacious and has a very different feel from "down below." Probably the most enjoyable flight of my life.

Did not know they flew these. According to Wikipedia, at one time they had 33 in service from 1973 to 1985.

Thank electroman00. According to Google this aircraft was scrapped back in Dec 1990. Interesting looking aircraft though. It does look like a photoshoped image of a 747 and a C-119.
