All logbooks are lost or are hidden away in some obscure archive, so we'll probably never know for sure.

I am a member of the Lobo Wing of the Commemorative Air Force and this plane is our current restoration project. It takes a lot of man-hours and a lot of bucks to complete such a project.

We've actually made a lot of progress since that picture was taken.

For more information go to www.lobowing.org .

I take it you recognize the 116200 on the 63600.
Interesting Grady. Did you know that Jimmie Stewart flew in a B52 bombing run over S. Vietnam, the Iron Triangle area I think it was. The flight was out of Guam. It almost crashed landed in fact. Interesting story.
