Aero Linx: B-17 Alliance Foundation Serving as a service station canopy in Milwaukie, Oregon for over 67 years, the WWII B-17G Flying Fortress now known as the “Lacey Lady” is undergoing complete restoration to airworthy condition at the Salem, Oregon airport (KSLE). Opened in January 2015, Hangar “C” at historic McNary Field houses the B-17 Alliance Foundation museum and restoration facility where you can watch our volunteers work towards restoring our iconic aircraft piece by piece. Established in 2006, the B-17 Alliance Foundation was created to restore the famous “Milwaukie Gas Station Bomber” and return the B-17G Flying Fortress to its original flying glory. The alliance mission quickly expanded to a three-part vision to Preserve, Educate and Inspire our community. This B-17G Flying Fortress will fly again to Honor the American Spirit of a Great Generation.
