Thanks Scott for the updates. I was especially interested to see the update on B-17 #44-83387 (the forward fuselage that was in the bar in Colorado). Living in Greeley (where the bar was) and seeing the fuselage and ball turret hanging in the bar pained me. I'm thrilled to know via Aerovintage.com that the ball turret is going into one restoration and the fuselage into another, and both are going to be flyers.

I've been watching 12 O'clock High reruns on cable and I'm always impressed with the studio B-17. It looked to be fairly complete at one time. Glad to hear it's going to a good home.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

I'm packing up for a move and realized I don't have a copy of the B-25 book. That has now been remedied. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the out of print A-26 book. If anyone has a copy they want to part with let me know.

I echo the sentiments of everyone here with a big thank you Scott.
Such a thorough amount of research in such a tidy package! Awesome!
You seem to have the same kind of "hmmmm........" feeling, in regards to Swamp Ghost. Storing something beside the ocean, is only just marginally better than storing it in the ocean.
Let's hope for the best

I appreciate the kind words. I admit it can be tedious and took the better part of a day to put both of those together. However, it does turn out to be a nice clearinghouse when all is said and done. I get numerous tips and contributions form a bunch of people and that makes it work.
