Nice! I got a good look at the B-17G as it flew over, and I nearly missed the P-38J Lightning that was following it.

Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress - After the Battle Postcard

The B-17 Bomber was amazing and helped win WWII. I flew on one in 2002 as a tourist - I have family members that were ball turret gunners - bad place to be.
This video was shot on Hi-8, and thankfully I digitized it (at 720x480) way back in that day. Now, I've up-scaled it with local AI (1408x954) and the improvement is astounding.
Sadly, this actual B17 crashed in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress_crash
