The Bozeman Bomber: B-17F 42-3470

[aerovin]

I just posted a story about B-17F 42-3470 that spent the late 1940s on the campus of Montana State College at Bozeman, then went on to fly as N66574, OB-RAH-346, CP-633 (sorta), AN-AMI (sorta), N9815F (sorta) and ended up as HK-580 in Colombia. It most likely crashed in 1962 but such details remain elusive. Not a lot of new information here but it puts it all in one place.

According to a post by John Davis (one of the credits) on the Air-Britain forum in 2020, HK-580 was lost on 7 October 1963.
