 This B-17 (Sentimental Journey) was at Peachtree Dekalb Airport this week-end for  the Atlanta Warbird Weekend Event.
Sentimental Journey (44-83514) is the nickname of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber. It is based at the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa, Arizona.[1] The aircraft is regularly flown to airshows throughout North America.
The nose art features Betty Grable, the number one pinup girl of the World War II era. The aircraft's name takes after a song made very popular by Doris Day in 1945.
