Description - August 2019, Lowry, CO -

I had a summer job with the local air & space museum. My last day, I ran into a volunteer who took me to explore the restorations corner of the museum. To my delight, he let me climb into the B-18 "Bolo." This is one of only six B-18s in existence, and I got to explore its cockpit. The aircraft's innards weren't in great shape, but it was a phenomenal way to view the museum. You can see the B-1A in the left panel and the F-106's canopy in the right.

(I was hired for another position a few weeks later and have been promoted a few times. The B-18 has since moved out of restorations to a central location.)

Wow, I didn't know so few are left. I saw one of them at the National Museum of the USAF earlier this year. The bomber's design was actually based off of the DC-2.
