Default Anyone up for making a B-17 restoration part?

I want to say they moved the B-17 from the entrance of the old
"Greater Southwest International Airport" - DFW took over in a political
squabble. They (who?) moved it to the entrance of the Air Base in Ft.
Worth.

Sadly, it was put there in flying order and then over the years got
stripped
of parts by persons unknown. They trucked it by semi. Several of them.


Actually, that was a B-29, parked on the South side of the South
terminal wing in the late 1970s. I poked around it many times when I was
working SCCA races at GSW. It's now at the entrance to Lockheed, in
West ft worth, and the other side of the runway from Carswell JRB

There was also a B25 (B24?) on the North side of the North terminal wing
of GSW. It was complete. i don't know where it ended up.
