I flew in their B17 several years back. In fact I have done it twice. Once was with my father who was a flight test engineer on the B17 program at Boeing during WWII. It was a real experience to go along with my dad as he was full of information on the plane and it flight characteristics. When they stated the max ceiling for the plane in the pre-flight my dad corrected them. They countered back with they were correct and he simply stated that he was in the plane when they were testing at his stated max ceiling. They were watching engine performance at high altitude to determine the max service ceiling which is obviously lower than they actually took the plane in the flight tests.
