Hi airnutz:

Good guess, it came from U.S. Forest Service Land in New Mexico. We've also got a wrecked B-24 in the Mountains, and the wing is in good shape, but everything else is gone. We've got a PB4Y-2 up on a 10,000 mountain, a firebombing plane. Wings and tail are intact.

These are all way to far gone to rebuild.

I'd say the mysterious planes in the Pacific region are a better deal, but I'd have to look at the UNESCO rules first.

Chris
