Was it damaged or in the process of being dismantled ???

It's missing the side guns & look at the wing root. Looks like the wings are on the side

It had shot up rear fuselages that were replaced from a/c with shot up noses at least 3 times. The first time they did it they renamed the a/c Half & Half. MSgt Curt Foster in the cockpit supervised the Rhinoplasty.

Windshield looks like it has a good size hole in it or is the photo damaged.
Thanks for sharing.

454th BS 323rd BG 9th AF
s/n 41-31813 RJ+G
i'm not sure if the s/n applies to the nose, the first back end off of "Goatee H*ll"
of the 453rd BS or the second rear section used.
