Talk about cool, this just about tops the list.
But kudos to the pilot, he did a fantastic job even after losing an engine in flight and makes a perfect landing. I wish I spoke German so I could understand what they are saying, but I pretty much got the gist of it. Kind of odd, Austrians building a B-17. What's next, a Japanese RC B-29?

Das ist ganz Ausgezeichnet!
I'm not sure that the Nazi leader's countrymen building a B-17 replica is totally novel, inasmuch as the Germans were known to have captured and operated a few/several during the war.
Related note: When I was attending junior high in Wien in the early '70s, it was still common to see bomb craters 6-8' across, and a couple of feet deep, when walking through the Wienerwald.
Wow, that is cool. The B17 is still one of my favorite aircraft.
Weren't a bunch of them used after WWII to spray pesticides for fire ants?
