Indeed!
The B-17 was the biggest Airfix model I had hanging from my ceiling when I was a kid - it was in the 1:48 scale section (I was very picky: couldn't mix 1:72, with 1:48 or 1:32 - big no no) - fully articulated guns, undercarriage and propellers. So to see one actually flying (seem them static) was just a childhood dream come true.
The one over my house was green - ala 'Memphis Bell' style.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
