Grand Island B-17's
Posted: Fri May 20, 2016 7:57 am
Just "discovered" a new training B-17 code
GI - Grand Island
assigned to 2nd AF - similar code set-up as Sioux City (SC) and Rapid City (RC)
GI on vertical stabilizer
Large three digit under serial number (last three of s/n) on stabilizer.
Large four digit on nose (last three of s/n).
Might be assigned to the 242nd AAFBU.
Have two B-17s with these tail codes (42-30620 & 42-6121) - other aircraft assigned (B-29, P-63 & C-45) to the 242nd AAFBU do not display these codes (same as other 2nd AF OTU units).
