AL557…LB-30 Liberator

….also known as N92MK, the former (or one of) Morrison Knudsen construction company LB-30 Liberators that operated in Alaska….now makes it’s home to the side of Darrell Skurich’s hangar with a very unwelcoming fence around it (barbed wire, spiked fence poles!) Luckily, since we first started tracking it about ten years ago when it was just sitting off the end of the downtown Fort Collins city runway, it has been moved to this more protected site where no one can ‘pick’ at it…the photo I attach is from back when it was sitting out in the open….and there were also fuselage pieces 92 of them) from F-82 Twin Mustangs mixed in with the wreckage! The plane is owned by the Whittington Bros. and will, SOMEDAY, be restored.

How much more of it’s left? I’d always thought it was just chunks, but if there’s talk of putting her back together I assume it’s pretty substatial remains?

Sorry…where it says there were fuselage pieces from F-82’s, it should say ‘2 of them’….not 92 of them… (did’nt hit the caps button for a (.
