This photo showed up on the Hokey A$$ Message Board:
I've been looking at other cargo B-17s and this one doesn't seem to match the
Bataan II (later wheels and no extra windows); could it be the XC-108 tanker 42-30190? The image info just calls it a CB-17F. Over to you...

Nice addition of the astrodome right in front of the cockpit.

Aka the H.A.M.B., it's a forum for traditional hot rods (not rat rods!) and custom cars, but it also has a thread called "Vintage shots from days gone by" which is for old photos (mainly old-car-related, but other stuff appears as well). Right now it's at over 4300 pages and 87,000 posts, including some of mine. Rest assured I pipe up when I see some aircraft.
