  • That is really amazing. The condition is impressive. Guess they really knew how to build these things tough back then!

  • Damn misquotes lol

  • can i please have a map location of this plane

  • That is so amazing, thanks for posting!

  • @FPVandotherprojects

    It was so surreal to see in person that I had to share the video. It's quite a hike to get there, but it was worth it.

  • Kinda surprised the various 'vintage aircraft' organizations (such as the Continental Air Force) haven't salvaged it. Surely there's something left of value.

  • @ahz123 I wasn't able to find the link, but the Museum of Flight in Seattle is rebuilding a B17 "Boeing Bee", and I recall they mentioned this wreckage for a part they needed.

  • Amazing that old tire looks like new,,still holding air and no weather rot...

  • @timstime1970

    If someone would have told this me crashed recently I would have believed it. :)

  • @timstime1970 I was thinking the same thing. There's a lot of neat stuff there. I was surprised to see the tire intact unlike the other tire.

  • "On January 19, 1952, SB-17G 44-85746 was returning to McChord Field from a search and rescue mission of its own. Ironically, the crew was searching for survivors of a Korean plane which crashed off the Queen Charlotte Islands.... Three of the eight crewmen were killed, two of the survivors were seriously injured when the SB-17 impacted with the mountain range."
