Only someone from Idaho would call a 70 year old wreck "new."   :neener:

Rocky mountains have swallowed a plethora of airplanes. Last summer a group of hikers found an amazingly-intact B-17.

I remember seeing a B-23 Dragon parked at the Scottsdale Airport in Scottsdale, Az. back in the late 70s.  There were also 2 P-38s there too owned by a guy named Levitt.  At least one was an early model with the sloped intakes.  Thanks for a great memory.
