The eagerly-awaited schedule for 2024 of Sally-B, Europe's only airworthy Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, has been officially released. This iconic aircraft has a rich history and is well-known for being a part of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. The Sally-B is a popular attraction among aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike and the release of its schedule is highly anticipated every year. The schedule includes various air shows and events that will take place across Europe throughout the year, providing fans with ample opportunities to witness the Sally-B in action.

The season's opening event will take place on the 17th of May in Duxford, where the crew will conduct Test & Crew Training flights. After the training flights, the plane will make its first public appearance of the season at the Abingdon Air & Country Show, which is scheduled to take place soon after.
