Swamp Ghost 👻 is fortunately NOT the only intact B-17 flying fortress left in the world. There are not many, but yet a few remain airworthy. And there are some nice examples on static display.
Swamp Ghost is the only surviving B-17 modification E. But these videos are made by people with the horizons of journalists. Missed one letter, the meaning has changed.
Just like when he called the Olympic Airlines 747 an Airbus I think he mispoke and meant to say the only intact complete B-17E variant left in the world. I believe all the remaining intact B-17s in the world in museums and flying are all of the F and G variants. I don't believe there is a E variant anywhere on display. So that may be what he meant to say. Its Definately NOT the only B-17 left.
The B-17 in the video that is shown running is the "Movie Memphis Belle" who still flies today. Operated by the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo NY. There are several other B-17's still flying too.
0:46 “When they do show up, they can be in the most expected locations.” Something tells me this narrator is an AI, not passing the Turing Test very well.
The only intact B-17 IN THE WORLD? I live next to a Commemorative Air Force unit in Mesa, Az and get to see a B-17 actually flying overhead pretty often.
There is a B17 less than 30 miles away from here called Sally B and in flying order, I believe it featured in the 1990s film "The Memphis Belle". It as Duxford aviation museum in the UK.

As of October 2018 there were 9 operating B17 flying fortresses in existence, key word OPERATING that doesn’t include restored planes in museums or in private hands or non restored condition. 47 exist around the world of which 11 are air worthy and 40 exist in the United States.

There is a B-29 at the bottom of Lake Mead that was finally reached when the water level dropped in the 2014 - 2017 drought. It's in pretty good shape. But under 133 feet of water.

A statement like that he made on the B17 needs to be properly quantified... I’ve flown in a B17, and see one at least once a year flying overhead here in New York. Even if he means that this is the last intact B17 E, it’s in pieces...
9:33 Um? I am Russian and what do you mean “Serving until the fall of the Soviet Union?” Russian Air Force still uses IL-96s. They are very reliable and simple. The video is not accurate at all
I've been inside that very Shackleton at long marston back in the early 90's. Back then there were plenty of other planes and helicopters there in various states of repair. There are posts about it and a few of the other rotting planes on 28 days later forums if anyone's interested.
Watch this nice video you did on those different airplanes which flown decades ago. A real historic site to see where all those airplanes lie down now and in different remote places too. Interested video I have watch from Paramaribo in Suriname😃😃
Very poorly researched, there are many surviving B-17's, and many of them still flying - the video even showed one of them, renamed years ago as Memphis Belle. Why are you calling a Boeing 747 an Airbus - in almost the same sentence???
Unfortunately, the planes at Hellinikon X Airport were canned three months ago. The investors and the Greek state were not interested in saving a piece of its glorious history
I rode in old 909, a B-17 bomber, last June 2018 belonging to the Collings Foundation. It was delightfully noisy, vibrated, was windy, and it filled with the delightful aroma of smoke and aviation fuel when they started the engines. My friend took a selfie out of the top turret at 160mph, a place where many cell phones are sucked out of hands and lost forever on many flights. It was worth the price.
@@CaptRich-bi3gp Another dream fulfilled...... In November 1982, Jet and Piston Ace Bob Love flew me in his P-51 D Mustang from Livermore to Stockton, Calif to watch a restored B-25 make its first flight. On the way home he bent that thing around the checkered water tower at Stockton to give the ground people a thrill. Wow, I rode in a Mustang TWICE in one day. Still a fresh memory after all these years.
The "Be-12" on the pedestal that they mention and is also in the thumbnail is actually an older model known as the Be-6. The Be-6 has stubbier engines and no protrusion coming from the nose.
That photo supposedly showing a plane like the Boeing 777 that MH370 was using it obviously not not MH370. The plane would be in small pieces because it would have been torn apart by the trees.
yeah.. it's not the last B17, as i've flown in TWO of them still in the air, Aluminum Overcast and the Memphis Belle (movie version). so.. yeah... no..

Actually there are a number of surviving B-17's still around, in the U.S. alone there are 9 that are airworthy with another being restored to airworthy condition. Of the B-17 E's there are currently 4 intact survivors with 1 of them being restored to airworthy condition.
Swamp ghost is not the only surviving B-17, it was just the only wreck left fully intact above water, there’s another B17 near where swamp ghost was recovered, it’s called the gray ghost, but it’s tail was sheered off in the wreck so it’s not intact even though all of the pieces are in the same spot.

2:06 A large aircraft crashes/crash-lands in thick jungle and remains intact? This is where I get off this wagon - I already had my doubts when I saw "Incredible" in the title and "Amazing" in the poster's name.
The purported BE-12 on the pylon is obviously not this type of aircraft. The engines are radial piston engines and not turboprops that would be found on the BE-12. I suspect that the aircraft is actually a much older design that preceded the BE-12 in Soviet service.

Actually there are a number of surviving B-17's still around, in the U.S. alone there are 9 that are airworthy with another being restored to airworthy condition.
Of the B-17 E's there are currently 4 intact survivors with 1 of them being restored to airworthy condition.
Swamp ghost is not the only surviving B-17, it was just the only wreck left fully intact above water, there’s another B17 near where swamp ghost was recovered, it’s called the gray ghost, but it’s tail was sheered off in the wreck so it’s not intact even though all of the pieces are in the same spot.
13:47 ummmmmmm, looks far from "intact"
jah_boi_420 what about the Memphis bell are we just not gonna talk about
I'm glad this guy isn't an obnoxious channels like he amazed
*be amazed
6:38 Excuse me? Referring to a 747 as an airbus?

The only intact B-17 flying fortress in the world? I think IWM Duxford would like to have a word with you about that ;)

*memphis bell would like for you to reconsider that*
this was the biggest WTF moment in this video... wow
@@minnesotangaming8966 Memphis Belle at least the original one isn't flying . Sally B based at IWM Duxford (not owned by IWM) has Memphis Belle on one side as it was used as a Memphis stand in during the movie

That can’t possibly be! Because the only intact B17 is laying in a pile on a hanger floor😂👊
I found one in France whilst out for a walk. A plane that crashed in the 1960's coming back from algeria. It is irretrievable has lost its engines and wings but the fuselage is still there. I think it may have been for parachutists.
I just flew on the Boeing A380!!!
Boeing doesn't build the A380. It is built by Airbus.
It’s so exiting that they might have found MH370 RIP everyone who died 😭😭😭
I feel so bad 😭 not😎
@@mrsshellyv78 boi tf-
If that is actually MH370 nobody would've died because it looks completely intact
Omg when I heard that B-17 is last one of its kind I cringed so hard. Cmon check facts first.
The B-17 E is one of the last of its kind. Most surviving models are B-17 G models. The Memphis Belle is a B-17 F model.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that Airbus remark.

What about the “Lady of the Lake” WB-29 superfortess at Eielson AFB Alaska. She’s in the middle of a small lake out in the middle of nowhere.
Malasian Airlines 370th sounds in cockpit before dissapearing: Pull up! Pull up! Alarm noises
"shes the only intact B17 Flying fortress left in the world !! - this is just nonsense - there are a lot of B17s still flying and intact !.. - Lots of errors in this video - shame..
The Russian flying boat on the pedestal is a Beriev Be-6, not a Be-12.
Not true regarding the "only surviving B17 in the world" I flew on one about three months ago! Ye Old Pub was her name and there are others out there too including Liberty Belle being restored by The Liberty Foundation in Georgia, USA.
THE Ye Olde Pub? I didn't know they had restored that, considering the state it was once in
6:39 'The purchase of the *AIRBUS*'
Seriously get your facts straight!!!
So Malaysian 370 is intact sitting in a jungle in Cambodia, eh? Kinda curious considering pieces of it have washed up on various shores.
Disappearance:
Date: 8 March 2014; 5 years ago
Summary: Cause unknow, some debris found
Site: Southern Indian Ocean (presumed)
So don't believe what he say
It's even not on Air Crash Investigation... yet
6:29 - Including the Boeing 747 Olympic Airlines *fast forward a few seconds* Aristotle Onassis himself ordered the AIRBUS.
Me: Wait hold up, replay that
Boeing 747-- airbus... aiirrbuus.... aaaaiiiiiiirrrrbuuuuuuuuussssss. Yes Airbus and Boeing and the same thing.
thats not the only b17 left! where did this guy get his facts? theres like 40 of them and 11 of them still fly
Chad Olech 10 :(
2:06 A large aircraft crashes/crash-lands in thick jungle and remains intact?
This is where I get off this wagon - I already had my doubts when I saw "Incredible" in the title and "Amazing" in the poster's name.
The purported BE-12 on the pylon is obviously not this type of aircraft.
The engines are radial piston engines and not turboprops that would
be found on the BE-12. I suspect that the aircraft is actually a much
older design that preceded the BE-12 in Soviet service.
The aircraft on the pylon is a BE-6, much older than the BE-12 with very little in common between the two.
