I think so, it matches all the other photos that I've seen - allowing for
seasonal variations.

I believe I recall seeing somewhere (National Geographic?) an article
containing photographs of one of those huge "crane" helicopters lifting
this(?) B-17 out of the swamp. Can anyone clarify this and if so, update us
as to it's current location and condition?
