Stored B-17s at Pyote AAF in the postwar years

[aerovin2]

I just added a post at aerovintage.com about the postwar storage of B-17s at Pyote AAF in west Texas (otherwise known as the Rattlesnake Bomber Base). 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.
