Does anyone have photos of PV-2 N7428C while it sat in Marianna, FL in the early 1980s? It had been busted in a drug run and spent a few years sitting idle. It had a roadrunner painted on the side with the name "Beep, Beep My Ass". Later ending up with Richard Mitchell and restored as Fat Cat. Crashed in Conroe, TX in 1990 while with the CAF.

A former owner would like a photo as he never shot any himself.

T J, I'll look thru my files, I believe I have a "post bust" pic of this PV somewhere....and by the way, she did not crash at Conroe, had some electrical issues, I heard that the starter hung up and over heated, resulting in an uncontrollable fire that consumed the aircraft...nobody hurt except for pride....

Don't you fellows across the pond need a Harpoon? I have one or two waiting for a good home!

Trying once more to see it anyone shot a photo of it while sitting in Florida. The only one I've seen so far had it sitting in TX some years previously.
