The B-18 Bolo on display at Wings (one of the five remaining B-18s in the world) has a colorful history. After training bombardiers during World War II, civilian owners used it as a cargo aircraft, aerial sprayer, and survey aircraft. In 1959 it was caught running guns to Fidel Castro for the Cuban revolution and confiscated by the US Border Patrol. The National Museum of the US Air Force loaned the B-18 to Wings Over the Rockies in 1990, and the Restorations team has restored it to its prewar bomber configuration. (from the museum's website)
