We spent about 10-12 hours out at the B-17 yesterday. The weather finally broke enough so that we could access the last of the storage sheds ,and we could then combine all of the B-17 parts into one location. We have a small building to work in that is OK for componets such as the tail stinger or control surfaces, but when we got out to climb in the B-17, what we found was not pretty. Moss growingon the interior of the belly, water laying in the bottom of the plane, and many corrosion issues. Long story short, she needs to come inside. We did find many great parts that we need, and are going to be able to reproduce some parts for other B-17's.
Mold for cheeck window
The donation bomb for the building. I have always wanted to hold one
Rob agreed that we are like big 8 year olds
The ever top secret Area 17
Now that we have all the parts in one area, we are indexing them and photographing each one, and then placing in a shelf or cabinet in Area 17. No more quests running around trying to find B-17 stuff mixed in with parts of someone's Nash.
