    Ahh I just put the jet engines on cause the props wouldn't get it up to speed to get it off the runway. That's literally the only reason ':0 @Flash0of0green

    @CWhat016 A more modern version of the B-17 or Boeing B-17 flying Fortress would be the Superfortress or Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

    @CWhat016 adding four turbo fusion engines to B-17? Can someone say heavily shake it up and concussed crew? Also if it's a modern B-17 then why dose it not have at least one of Vulcan Rotary canon or similar Artilery? Interesting thought though I'll give you that also quite original.
