I've learned that this B-17 used to be "Madras Maiden". . . .
Furthermore, they told me that the Madras Maiden was a B-17G and they converted Ye Old Pub to a B-17F. So, it lost the bottom gun turret on the nose amongst other things.

Before it became "Madras Maiden," this B17 was "Chuckie" and was at the Virginia Military Aviation Museum. During some tough economic times in 2013, the museum's owner, Jerry Yagen, sold several aircraft, including "Chuckie." The B17 went to The Tillamook Air Museum, in Oregon.
