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.


I have a strange request for anyone who frequents the Dallas airport.
Some time around 1976 they had just added onto the airport and dug up
an aquatic dinosaur and put it on display in one of the side
corridors. I would greatly appreciate a picture of it. IIRC it is the
size of a VW.

Surprised it's not online, but I sure could not find it.
Next time I'm out there I'll try to figue out where it is and snap a pic
or two.


That would be great, I remember it as very unique. I thought of
mentioning that I tried years ago to find it online after I hit send.
One would think it would be online, but then again it was found way
before common PC's.

That was the trip that I ran into a friend in O'Hare.
