Sally B

2026 Display Schedule

Sally B, the much-loved Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress based at IWM Duxford, is flying an evolving 2026 display season across the United Kingdom, France and Jersey. After a maintenance-delayed start to the season, the programme has continued to expand through the summer, with additional appearances now confirmed at Eastbourne, Duxford’s Evening Flying Day and Little Gransden. The schedule also includes major airshows, memorial flypasts, private military events and exclusive Members’ Sundays. All future appearances remain subject to weather, serviceability and operational changes.
