Hot To Go [2183] 19BG-28BS: (circa 1952): According to information Glenn Garig (pictured)received from Maxwell AFB, she first went from Walker AAF, KS to the D-M Boneyard. She was taken out of storage and placed in service with the 19BG on 29 Feb. 1952. On 10 June 1952the plane was lost in combat over North Korea during an attack on the railroad bridge at Kwakson, reportedly shot down by the Soviet MiG pilot, Karelin. Miss Jackie the Rebel andApache were also lost to AAA and MiG cannon fire that night. Apache made it to Kimpo but never flew again.
That’s Glenn up front in the Mark Styling painting of Hot to Go. Glenn also reminds us what happened when a pilot dragged the B-29’s tailskid. The George Amthor photo, with the red stripe, proves there were at least three Hot To Go ladies. The black B-29 belly and the lady’s swimsuit suggest that the 93BS model came after Glenn’s beauty.
