So, I was not able to listen last night and have not downloaded the podcast yet. Was a paint scheme announced?

It was. Their B-17 was assigned to the 15th Air Force in 1944. They are not clear if it flew any combat missions or not, but it was delivered as a combat ready aircraft. Eventually the airplane was assigned to General Ira Eaker. It was named Starduster. Their plan is to keep in combat configuration with turrets and such, but put it back into Starduster markings.
