Neat Photo,

I am curious to see if there any other photo's still remaining from when Doc was brought out of China Lake. I recall seeing some pic's of Doc sitting out in the open with the "other" toys that were removed from China Lake at the same time.

Anyone can help here...please ??

It still amazes me that as recently as 1979 when Wild Hawg was being readied for its transatlantic flight that there were so many B-29s still left at China Lake.
