A long time ago, far away in the islands of the Grenadines Inter Island Air was losing planes and cargo to a small group of air pirates flying surplus Russian fighters. The pirates would fly along side IIA's C-47 cargo planes and force them to land at remote island air strips. Inter Island Air found a solution in purchasing and re arming a surplus B-17 using veteran 17 crews. This proved to be too much fire power for the air pirates and their aging Polikarpov I-16 fighters and they abandoned their evil ways and went to work for the emerging hotel chains.

This is all fantasy of course and Inter Island Air never flew B-17's but it gives me a good excuse to make a civilian 17 with guns.

Now at Flightsim.com in the FSX files section under B-17.

It also goes very well with my worn and weathered 17 cockpit here (also at Flightsim.com files) viewtopic.php?f=29&t=26975

Very nice m8

Very nice Warbirds. Difference scheme makes a nice change.
Did you mean to spell secure as secrure (The secrure soute) with the extra 'r'?

Looking forward to this one. Looks great.

Speeling has never been a strong point for me, lol but thanks I will correct if before upload. I kept hearing request for a civi version of this plane and so I wanted to do one but also wanted it to have a reason for the guns. I might do this in IL2 as well and then I can have real pirates chasing me.

I have always been interested in air pirates stories from the 30's and think that would make a very cool sim some day.

This looks beautiful! Great job as always!
