Wow, if those kind of missions would happen more often I'd fly in the MA a little, but unfortunitly I hardly EVER see a mission period, I've only found at the most mayb 5 missions in the MA, and none of them were anywhere as big as the pics ppl keep posting :(

Which is mainly why i fly in Combat Theatre, + the earlywar and historical setups :)

Question what was the minimum altitude a B17 could drop its payload from.

Zero feet.  There were some survivabillity concerns, so they usually dropped from higher.

GAWD!! If I was flying near that hoard, with my PC, I'd have a FR of 0.00001.
