Memphis Belle Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress On Display At Mud Island Memphis Tennessee.
In the summer of 2003 the Memphis Belle was dissembled and moved to a restoration facility as the former Naval Air Station Memphis in Millington, Tennessee for work.
In September 2004. however the National Museum of the United States Air Force, apparently tiring of the ups and downs of the city's attempts to preserve the aircraft, indicated that they wanted her back for restoration and eventual display at the museum at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio.
In May 2017 the museum announced the goal of completing the restoration and putting the Memphis Belle on display by 17th May 2018, the 75th Anniversary of the planes 25th mission.
On March 19th 2018 the Memphis Belle was moved into the WWII Gallery at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, and was officially unveiled May 17th 2018.
Filmed with Sony Camcorder and converted from VHS to Digital, please excuse the poorer quality by today's standard but it does show how things have improved.
Mud Island River Park - Memphis Tennessee
DescriptionTook My DJI Phantom 2 Vision along on a work trip to Memphis. Spent a few days after work to fly around. Here I am at Mud Island park burning up a battery. Was quite a bit hesitant about flying over the Mississippi River but figured such a nice day, WTF.
Memphis, Tennessee - Mud Island, Beale Street, Madison Hotel, Trolley Cars
We visited Memphis and saw the sights. The observation deck of the Madison Hotel was closed but a very nice staff member who greeted us offered to guide us to the top and see it anyway. On the way up we learned he had lived in Lompoc back in the 1960's. What a small world. Thanks for the tour Jim Williams.

Memphis, Tennessee, United States. Economy, Climate
Memphis is the second largest city in the state of Tennessee and the second largest metropolitan area in the state after Nashville. Memphis is an older city. Memphis is one of the most expansive cities in the United States. Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment.
LOCATION
The state rests in the southeastern portion of the United States. Memphis is on the southwestern corner of Tennessee, with the Mississippi River and the state of Arkansas bordering it to the west and the state of Mississippi to the south.
HISTORY
The city of Memphis was founded on May 22, 1819 (incorporated December 19, 1826) by John Overton, James Winchester and Andrew Jackson. They named it after the ancient capital of Egypt on the Nile River. Memphis developed as a trade and transportation center in the 19th century because of its flood-free location high above the Mississippi River.
Memphis played a prominent role in the American civil rights movement and was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968.
POPULATION
The city's demographics changed dramatically in the 1850s and 1860s under waves of immigration and domestic migration.
CLIMATE
Memphis has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons
Winter weather comes alternately from the upper Great Plains and the Gulf of Mexico, which can lead to drastic swings in temperature. Summer weather may come from Texas (very hot and humid) or the Gulf (hot and very humid). July has a daily average temperature of 82.7 °F (28.2 °C).
Early autumn is pleasantly drier and mild, but can be hot until late October. Late autumn is rainy and cooler.
Winters are mild to chilly, with a January daily average temperature of 41.2 °F (5.1 °C). Snow occurs sporadically in winter.
Memphis is extremely hot in the summertime, and the humidity can make you feel even hotter! Those who have trouble tolerating high heat and humidity may wish to avoid visiting during July or August.
ECONOMY
Since the civil rights era, Memphis has forged forward to become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics.The city's largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the second-busiest cargo airport in the world.
The city's central geographic location has been strategic to its business development. Located on the Mississippi River and intersected by five major freight railroads and two Interstate Highways. Memphis is ideally located for commerce in the transportation and shipping industry.
its outlying areas were developed as cotton plantations, and the city became a major cotton market and brokerage center.
