Thanks again for the pictures.

Sure, I would like to see them.

I was mistaken, I should have said the YB-17, 36-157, crash at IDYLLWILD, CA between Palm Sptings, CA. and Hemet, CA.. Two other early models B-17's were, B-17, 36-154 MARCH FIELD, CA, and B-17 ,36-150 MARCH FIELD, CA but I don't know if they were write offs. I am also checking into B-17D 40-3072 wh...

Then the B-17C that crashed somewehere around Big Bear, is that also on Federal Land. So how is the restoration of your B-17C coming along?
