T-33 displayed at a small public park in Arcadia, Florida. I shot these photos in September, 2016. What a sad, corroded mess...

I shot these photos from the window of a motor coach on May 13, 2016, near Marseilles, France. Sorry for the poor quality. It was a gloomy, rainy day with poor lighting, the bus windows were dirty, and the bus was moving.

Notice that the northern aircraft are often on poles...to keep them out of winter snows. Also a bit of bank or climb allows drainage. Smart.

It almost looks like that F-86A model is on a rotating pole - like a wind vane!

This is a nice website with a similar subject. I like the way it is categorized by state as well as descriptions.

http://www.warbirdsandairshows.com/gateguards.htm

This website is specific to Wisconsin and can be searched by county, aircraft type, etc.

http://www.warmemorials.us/

Both have items other than aircraft as well.

It is: being a rare 47-FY model I wish they'd bring it down. Each time I've seen it, it's gently squeaking in the breeze.

The St. Marie's, Idaho (a logging town at the foot of Lake Coeur d'Alene) airport has a F-100F weathervane. Neat...and like many of the aircraft here, rather unexpected.

Yes, and the community is quite proud of it!

I remember being there once with my son and seeing an older jogger who would kiss his hand and then touch the support structure each lap around the park. Obviously a strong connection!

This particular T-bird is actually 21272, as the real 21616 crashed in 1973.
'616 was one of two Silver Stars used by the RCAF Golden Hawks as a support aircraft, and this example is dedicated to Wing Commander Jack Allen, who was the commanding officer of the Golden Hawks from 1960-62, and was born and raised in Nanton.

I believe this is the same plane circa 1977, making a cameo appearance in the movie Telefon:
