Hi all
I visited this museum a few years ago on my travels.
Anyone care to name it.
I’ve a few more pictures of it (not great quality) if anyones interested.
All the best

X-Plane.
Laurent
yes it’s the gate guardian at the AF Academy.
The X-plane stood on a verandah outside the officers club there.
I can’t remember what it is though!
All the best

Any ideas?
Could it be the one at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs?

Well, if 425 are the last three digits of the S/N, then it’s 52-3425 preserved at the Peterson Air and Space Museum, Colorado :rolleyes:

Might not be complete, but your picture shows that the Fort was missing its top turret. So you’ll have to return to check if there is one now 😀
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Laurent

B-17.
Laurent
I’m sorry I don’t have a complete view of the B-17.
Below is the only other B-17 fragment and not very good at all. It does show the codes though.
Sorry
Andy
PS Guess I’ll just have to go there again!!

Most probably the Strategic Air and Space Museum located at Offutt AFB (thanks to the serial number on the B-29’s tail, and to Google!).
Have you any pictures of the B-17 G nearby?
Thanks for posting.
Laurent
