But this flying fortress—located on what once was Hobbs Army Airfield, where bombardiers and pilots trained—is a life-size, two-dimensional representation of the legendary aircraft created by Brian Norwood.

JUNE 17 STARTED like any other Monday for Ruidoso residents Shelby and Eddie Gutierrez. Shelby took their two daughters to day care, then headed to the couple’s Downshift Brewing Co. Riverside taproom. Eddie was just down the street at Downshift’s brewery and Hidden Tap brew pub. Then, at 9:07 a.m., the South Fork Fire started, followed by the Salt Fire at 2 p.m.“We shut down Riverside once it became clear the fires were growing,” Shelby recalls.
