List of surviving Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses

Forty-five planes survive in complete form,[1][a] including 38 in the United States with many preserved in museum displays.

After the war, planes that had flown in combat missions were sent for smelting at boneyards, such as those at Walnut Ridge and Kingman.

Most of the other survivors were built too late to see active service and then were used through the 1950s and 1960s in military and civilian capacities.

Of the B-17s registered with a civil aviation authority, such as the FAA, less than 10 are being kept in airworthy condition, and some of those have not been flown for more than five years.

This is listing of surviving B-17 aircraft registered by the FAA in 2022, noting the status for each (which is periodically updated, per cited sourcing).

Italics denotes a plane that is potentially airworthy, but has not been flown in the past five years.

B-17G 44-8543 has been modified, including having its chin turret removed, to more closely resemble the B-17F that it wears the livery of ("Ye Olde Pub").
