: : Hi Tony,

: Where would that derelict B-17 in La Paz be located? I vis
: ited the airport at El Alto recently, got myself a visitor
: s-pass and was able to roam around the field freely. Saw s
: ome airworthy C-46's, an airworthy Convair 240 and some DC
: -6's. On the dump were several 6's, C-46's and C-47's but
: not a trace from a B-17. Also a reaonably well preserved T
: -6 at the entrance to the military side of the base.
