Brother Ahab, I agree, I've had that same thought!

jasonjc you are correct. Here is a picture taken at General Mitchell Airport in 2012. The last time I was there was 1996, and I could swear the B-25 was on it's landing gear, and in this picture it's mounted on a pylon. Anyways I have trouble remembering what went on last month, let alone...

Guyfang. This is a picture of the Lake Mead B-29. The wreck is normally about 300ft. deep, but with the drought, the wreck is about 100ft. deep. The shallower water enables divers to dive and explore the wreck........nobody has stolen it yet, although there have been some souvenirs taken.

The desert tan aircraft is the B-24A from the Commemorative Air Force. The aluminum aircraft is a B-24J from the Collings Foundation. Both are airworthy and fly at airshows around the country.
