Re: Day 2 ZL1
Yeah, that B-17 was a VFW war memorial that was first put on display in the 1950s. Since day one vandals and scavengers have taken damn near everything of value out of the airplane. The airplane was moved to the Tulare airport several years ago and placed in a more secure display. I seriously doubt it will ever fly again but you never know. I fly the west coast alot and I've seen the polished skin of the Tulare B-17 from 33,000 feet up on a sunny day.
As for the blue COPO, what a great car. I prefer the steel wheels with the hubcaps but it is nice to have an alternate set of wheels for a change of look. I'll bet it's fun to wring it out on those valley farm roads eh?
