The picture is many years after its initial discovery. Soon after the discovery, many of the components were taken off for military reasons. Some time later, an oil company came upon it and this picture was taken at that time. My father's pictures show the plane basically in tact, with all of the weapons still on it, etc. One of the cool stories my Dad likes to share is how he actually took a sip of coffee from the thermos of one of the crew.
