Interesting to see so many large pieces remaining - including an intact waist gunner's hatch. Would the NMUSAF be allowed to salvage any parts from this site for the Memphis Belle like they did from the Loon Lake B-23?

I'd take a stab and say that since a small monument has been placed on the mountain honoring the crew....probably not. However, due to the remoteness.....it wouldn't surprise me if parts/pieces have already been picked thru by salvagers hiking in. I did see one of the engines in the pics....that was cool.
