B-26 marauder nose? F104 Fuselage? Alien flying saucer? I need new glasses? :shock:
Do I win a pony? Don't think city code allows me to keep one :cry:

That's it.

Just kinda a surprise to see one sitting derelict out in the open, considering the rarity of the type.

Found another picture of it here:

Interesting in those pictures that the fuselage is secured to a trailer, as opposed to just sitting on the ground.

Yes...unless they have an additional nose...
They have a complete B26 - 40-1370 recovered from Alaska in 2000
7th known complete B26 survivor
Previous thread a few months back covered all 7.
