Pyote AFB B-17 storage
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:02 pm
I just added a post at aerovintage.com about the postwar storage of B-17s at Pyote AAF (otherwise known as the Rattlesnake Bomber Base) in west Texas. About 75 or so unused B-17s were stored there in the postwar years and they became the source of many of the DB-17s and QB-17s in the 1950-1959 period. I am continuing to look for photos of B-17s in storage at Pyote...they are very few and far between if they are even out there.
