These photos are of a B-17G and B-24J owned by the Collings Foundation (www.collingsfoundation.org). These planes and others owned by Collings tour the US and are available for unguided tours and short flights over the local area.  I photographed these two at Hawthorne Airport which you can see out the left window of any commercial flight landing at the Los Angeles LAX airport.  Both of these planes were in remarkably pristine condition and appeared to be almost new.  The level of detail in their restoration was quite amazing.
