As of my last update, only a handful of B-36 Peacemaker bombers remain in existence, and most of them are on display in museums rather than actively flying. The B-36, which was retired in the 1950s, had a limited operational lifespan, and the few remaining aircraft are primarily preserved as historical artifacts. Consequently, it is unlikely that any B-36 aircraft are still flying today.
The wingspan of the B-25 is 67 ft,7 inches. - More than 100 of these great aircraft are still in existence, almost 50 of them still flying !
Yes, the nickname of the B-17 was "The Flying Fortress."

A typical squadron of B-17 Flying Fortresses during World War II comprised 12 to 18 aircraft.
I believe the USAF still has over 65 B-52 H models operational.
