The Bozeman Bomber: B-17F 42-3470

[aerovin2]

I just posted a story about B-17F 42-3470 that spent the late 1940s on the campus of Montana State College at Bozeman, then went on to fly as N66574, OB-RAH-346, CP-633 (sorta), AN-AMI (sorta), N9815F (sorta) and ended up as HK-580 in Colombia. It most likely crashed in 1962 but such details remain elusive. Not a lot of new information here but it puts it all in one place.

At the time of the Mid-air over MacDill 42-3470 was according to the accident report had an RCL of M-B3

Any markings for the third Air Force marked with the squadron of " 5" meant a HQ aircraft and worn out for training
