It's great to see something that most thought was impossible only a few years ago actually happening. It gives us hope that other situations that seem currently "impossible" will have similar results -- the B-17 in Tulare, in particular, comes to mind.

Unfortunately according to people at NMUSAF, aircraft such as the B-17 in Tulare at this time will continue to sit as is/where is. At the time of the aircraft being "loaned" no plans or agreement was in place as far as maintenance/upkeep. There is really nothing that can be done until such time the recipients of loaned aircraft can no longer/ or want to be reponsible and the aircraft are turned back over to the museum. Bureaucracy and red tape? What a great thing to deal with! :roll:

I'm surprised the fuselage was transported in one piece. I would have expected it to be separated at the production joint at the aft radio room bulkhead.

As for the Tulare B-17, I was under the impression that it's privately owned by AMVETS, and not under the jurisdiction of the NMUSAF.

Easier the way they did it, with the bombay section in place they have the wing attach points to use for lifting points

Good going for those guys. There will be some B-17's moving.

No, it is under the jurisdiction of the NMUSAF. It is on loan.
