    This is the Vultee V-11A NR14980 heavily rebuilt into the V-11T NX14980. It served as a Pratt & Whitney engine test bed between ca 1940-45. No idea what is going on here. Perhaps P&W decided they needed a new barbecue grill so here we are with a nice smoke chimney, fan and all.... (just kidding off course.... 😄) Stig

    This was B-17G 44-85747 on loan to the US Navy from 1947 testing mostly Allison turboprops during the mid 1950s. The US Navy assigned its own Bu No 83999 but no specific designation. Some say it was the NB-17G.... Stig
