last time I was up there it is sitting in a display that is supposed to mimick the repair facility set up of the old Ogden Air Depot during the war. the only pictures I have are at least a year old.

Curiosity has the best of me and I'd like to see pictures if possible.
Here's what the B-24 looked like on October 3, 2005. Dennis

Denni, thanks for sharing your usual great pix of the B24. Any shots of their B26?
thanks...
thanks...

I've never seen the maurader or bit and pieces on display - my understanding is that it was in ugly shape when recovered and the work is slow going. Since the work is done by Hill AFB shops I'd guess that due to increased operation tempo that the restoration is slowed a bit more.

ww2John,
I didn't see any sign of a B-26 Marauder there. Their P-47 was in a hangar on the other side of the base so I didn't get to see it either.
Just in case you were referring to their Douglas A-26 Invader, here's some pictures of it. Dennis

Holy Mack'l, Andy. What a beast. The A-26 I mean. Unless my eyes deceive me, That thing's got 14 guns pointed forward. Yes...No...How many??

Definitely a lot of firepower and I like the name "Grim Reapers".
