Corvallis B-17G 43-38978 - photo found

[Chris Brame]

This just showed up in a WIX thread. The surplus B-17G 43-38978 at the Corvallis, OR airport has so far eluded the search for a photo - until now:

Not the greatest but it will do for the moment. Is that a 3-digit buzz number below the serial? (ETA: No.) Thread here:

Thanks to the poster (Mark Allen M), we now have an enlargement!

Field code looks like "24"; Osborne says this plane spent most of its career at Eglin - correct, terveurn?

The number 24 should date from her time at Hendricks - she should also have the number repeated on her nose.

Nothing interesting on her card - pretty boring. Eglin Test Flight for 10 months, Hendricks for 2 months, then Altus for disposal.
