I don't know if it's on display yet but the B-17 "Memphis Belle" is at WP, having been reclaimed by the USAF. I got a private tour of her when she was being dismantled for shipping about two years ago. I remember going INTO the Memphis Belle as a kid (8-9 YO) when she was on static display at the TN Air National Guard Armory and finding spent 50 Cal steel shell casings under the floor and in between the skin and structural ribs (Dad had AF Connections). If she is on display please post some photo's as it's been 40 years since I was inside the old girl. Save your comments as I know it sounds obscene but it was a thrill for a young kid.
Have fun and thanks,
Class III
