Though all of us here know that Swamp Ghost has finally made it off the docks, I don't believe anyone ever mentioned the name of the ship she was stowed for shipping, I respect the Integrity of those in the know, that know, and sworn to secrecy about where the Swamp Ghost may or may not be as we ponder just what exactly is up with this B-17.


I'm guessing that speculation is equally unwelcome as direct knowledge. It might enhance the abilities of certain P N G folks to (rightly or wrongly) continue the path that has brought it to this level in the first place.

Havent you guys ever learned anything about the movemment of military equipment, if you looking for an aircraft, check for large shipments of boxes marked "EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS" coming the source. That would be the Swamp Ghost....

Oh wait.... I think I gave a military secret away!

Ryan's right. I know we all find it real hard to shut up and wait, but that's the options here.

When someone who knows has got something to say about Swamp Ghost, if you don't read it here first, you'll read it here second - I'm sure.

Well, if he does, then won't his discoveries be a secret?
