Any updates?

It is coming along nicely. We are still redoing cowls and the top turrets haven't been installed. Here is a relatively current photo.

oh man she would have looked good in the air.......buyt so happy she is getting love and back to original configuration.

Are there any more sets of those original cowlings left? I wonder if they could be duplicated in fiberglass for the other static display Privateers.

My thoughts exactly.

Having seen so many back when they were firebombers, it's neat to finally see one with the correct cowls.

I did my recurrent in Tucson this year just so I could see the Pima Collection and wasn't disappointed, well I didn't win the Billion Dollar Lotto going on at the time...

Looks great!

Hopefully she'll be housed in her own building like the 390th B17, she would be a great centerpiece to honor the Patrol Squadrons that roamed the Pacific and Atlantic

Me, I'm just looking forward to another update with lots of pictures...

(hint hint hint)

We're planning to be in Phoenix for a convention in 2018..a trip to Pima will definitely be on the agenda! We visited in 2004 and it was fantastic, but they've added a lot since then!

What is the weight of the outer wing? I'm thinking right around 1500#.

Less. About 950-1,000 pounds per panel sans long range fuel cells.
