The Pink Lady (aircraft)

rdfs:comment

Rolled out of the Lockheed-Vega production facility in Burbank, California in December, 1944, The Pink Lady was then only known as a B-17G-85-VE Fortress, serial number 44-8846. On March 1, 1945, 44-8846 was flown to RAF Polebrook, England, and assigned to the 511th Bomb Squadron, 351st Bomb Group. Since she entered active service so close to the end of the war, 44-8846 only flew six missions over Germany, the last one on April 20, 1945, when the 351st ended combat operations. She was transferred to the 365th Bomb Squadron, 305th Bomb Group, based at RAF Chelveston, England, when the rest of the 351st returned to the United States.

Rolled out of the Lockheed-Vega production facility in Burbank, California in December, 1944, The Pink Lady was then only known as a B-17G-85-VE Fortress, serial number 44-8846. On March 1, 1945, 44-8846 was flown to RAF Polebrook, England, and assigned to the 511th Bomb Squadron, 351st Bomb Group. Since she entered active service so close to the end of the war, 44-8846 only flew six missions over Germany, the last one on April 20, 1945, when the 351st ended combat operations. She was transferred to the 365th Bomb Squadron, 305th Bomb Group, based at RAF Chelveston, England, when the rest of the 351st returned to the United States. She was featured as the fictional B-17F Mother and Country, in addition to The Pink Lady, in the film, Memphis Belle, painted on one side to resemble the older B-17F. The Pink Lady was kept at Paris - Orly Airport, France, just to the south of Paris, until its hangar was listed for demolition. In October 2006 she was stored for winter 2006-2007 in a hangar in St Yan, (Saône et Loire), France. After, she was based at Melun Villaroche (LFPM), south-est of Paris, where some Dassault (Mirage, Mystère or Balzac) have made their first flight in the 80's. She have made some meeting like at Melun in 2008 or Paris Air Show in 2009. Her last flight from Melun Villaroche (LFPM) (her last base before retirement) to Cerny-La Ferté Alais (LFFQ) (the airfield of Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis) was on March 2010. She is inside a new hangar since 29 October 2011, and she will wait some years before flying again.
