    The Memphis Belle was one of the first B-17 World War II bombers to complete 25 missions and safely return all of its crew members. They're offering public flights on Saturday and Sunday, October 20th and 21st from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Olive Branch Airport. The original Memphis Belle, a Boeing B-17 aircraft that was displayed in the Bluff City until 2005, is being restored at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. So her replica, the one used in the 1990 film Memphis Belle, is being flown for the tour.
