Update to 57-453

This aircraft was being moved to a new location at Ft. Meade Maryland and was damaged beyond economical repair. The tail will be the only remaining part of the aircraft at Ft. Meade to be displayed as a memorial to aircraft 56-0528. The remaining parts of the aircraft will be put into a quarry lake in Frederick Maryland to be used for recreational diving.
