Mike,
Is this the infamous "Hugo, Oklahoma" Bamboo Bomber?

No DZ, that wasn't the CenTex Wing's Bamboo Bomber. Ours was silver. Poor old N64513 is now with the National WASP museum in Sweetwater, TX. It's not in any better shape than it was on the hill in Midland. They got it less engines and props. I understand that it is now inside at least.

I believe the Bamboo Bomber pictured is now with the Wright Stuff Squadron, in Dayton, OH.
