This one is still around 39-63 and still N777LW

Neat photos! Does anyone have any recent photos of N777LW (besides the ones dated 2004 on Airliners.net)?

msn 39-0063 UC-67 @ the time of the photos belonged to Letourneau-Westinghouse who make those huge mine pit 15 yard dump trucks. according to the FAA site, currently in legal registration in Anchorage AK as N777LW, someone in Alaska will need to put on their pointy toed mukluks (cockroach killers) and hunt it down either @ KANC or Merrill Field (maybe Fairbanks), altho another site says it's in Moses Lake WA.

Having been at Moses Lake, Anchorage (PANC), and Fairbanks recently, there were no B-23s on the field unless they were tucked away in a hangar, which is actually possible at Moses Lake (in the old SLAFCO hangar).
