Large WWII Aircraft flying over TV?
 

Does anyone know the type of (what looks like a) large WWII Aircraft, (4 engines) flying low over the south end of the villages today, (Sunday @ 5:30PM)?
I think it may be a Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

I believe it is a B-17 Flying Fortress.

There were ads in the papers offering rides for a couple hundred dollars - from Leesburg International Airport.

I'm not sure of the model but it flew over the villages friday as well. I observed it go back and forth at least 3 times. This was around 4 pm on friday.

I was hoping someone else seen and herd that beautiful old plane. I’m guessing it was a Lockheed Super Constellation because it had what looked like an H tail.

B-17, Thanks! Very cool to see!

B24 seen it fly over twice playing tennis at Chatham.

In addition to the two already identified here, there was a P-51 Mustang.

Well, is it a B17, 24, or 29? Whatever it was, it was very cool.

The one flying on the north side was B24. Maybe there was two or three flying around the villages? As stated the H tail was dead give away 4 engine B24, 2 engine b25.

I saw the B-17 and P-51. At times there was bomber too far away to recognize; could have been a B-17 or B-25. My dad was in bombers in North Africa and Italy; he came back. I read that 70% of US bomber crews didn't.

B-17
 

I caught a distance view.... it had all the sounds of a B-17 ... which
I am familiar with as my father was a pilot of the B-17.

I only saw the P-51 Mustang in the afternoon. Love that Merlin engine sound. Wish it was at lower altitude. Somewhere in Florida you can get a ride in one for a few thousand dollars.
