Wow that's pretty cool.
I heard stories years ago when I was a young airman about an old Army Warrant officer who was detailed to bury a bunch of stuff, loaded into deuce and a halves, somewhere on Buckley. Just dug a big trench with a bulldozer, drove the trucks in, and covered 'em up. They called it Mog's (sp?) folly. I've heard similar stories over the years too, from different places. I'm sure there are more out there.
Hey! I know that guy. Joe is/was a member of the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers (as I am). Joe was a Sheriff's Deputy - I think for Pueblo Co, working at the jail when he and several other deputies had to enter a cell to get control of an inmate. Joe had the inmate and was bent over at the waist when another deputy jumped on Joe - causing several damage to his back. The last I saw Joe he had to carry around a gallon zip-loc full of pain meds. The Sheriff's office he worked for paid for a couple of months of convelescence for him then cut him loose.Quote:

I can't specifically pick out a B24, but about 4 years ago while working in the Flatirons Office complex right by the airport, we watched about a half dozen really old military planes land. On their way across the country on a tour. There were dozens of cars lined up along the road but we had a fantastic vantage point from the lounge in our building.
I cant tell you how many thousands of hours I have spent at the Pueblo Airport doing touch and goes or over at the east side playing with NVGs in the middle of the night.
Not once I have I seen a place to bury a B-24. There is some large ditches on the west and north-ish side of the airport property, but nothing big enough to hide a 100' wide and 20' tall airplane...
I bet they find Atlantis or Jimmy Hoffa before they find a buried B-24.
You have to remember the original Army Air Corps base stretched down to what is Hwy 50 now. All those grid roads near the airport were laid out in 18 months to build that base. There is all kinds of room where a bomber could have been buried. They might also have chopped wings, tails, stabilizers etc to get it to fit.Quote:
