Anybody know the status of the following B-17s?

44-85821 with Hugh McDonald (according to the registry)

The ones in Central America

The one in the bar in Greeley, CO

Thanks...

Wolverine-

The B-17 in The Armory in Greeley, CO still hangs from the ceiling with lights strewn about it. It really is a shame, but they own the bird fair and square, and aren't willing to sell it. They believe it to be appropriate because the building is the old city armory for Greeley, so they think it has "significant military value" and should be hanging from the ceiling of a state military building. Seems they fail to realize that this building isn't a museum, but a night club. Really is a sad thing. By the way, it's B-17F, rather rare!

It's just a fuselage if I remember correctly.
