On a side note, I was on a heart attack fire/medical call a few years ago and as we walked through the patients home to get to him in the kitchen I could not help but notice the COMPLETE B17 instrument panel and throttle console from a B17 on display in his living room. After we got him stabilized and he was doing better I inquired about it. He tells me he bought it off ebay?!?!?! He then says, if you think that is cool you need to walk down into my basement and see all of those airplane parts. Unfortunately and under the circumstances I did not do that. I really need to get back there and see everything.
