My father-in-law (Ed Brown)was the flight engineer on the Mississippi Miss and I am trying to find out where she is now and does she still fly. If so, does she ever get near Columbia SC?

If you read that little blurb, it says the plane was sold as scrap. 🙁

My dad, Harry L. Hopkins, flew 16 missions on the Mississippi Miss as a Tail Gunner. He also flew 16 other missions on different B-17’s. I would love to find more pictures of The Mississippi Miss for my personal archives.
