This is my updated, visually overhauled, 1.7 version of the B-17 heavy bomber.

AG1 - parachutes for slowing down on the runway.
AG2 - drops bomb tray after empty (special thanks to @EternalDarkness for the bomb tray).
AG3 - activates bomb bay lights.
VTOL down - opens bomb bay doors.
AG7 - activates turret, tail, and waist gunners.
AG8 - turns on nightime lights.
