Has anyone seen this? Where did these birds go?

Nevermind, it was made by Justin so I will not be picking it up...

Why not ? I will buy it.

Whatever our opinion about Justin position about recovering wrecks, at least he published info about a place full (at that time) of wrecks that almost everybody else that went there tried to hide and conceal "just in case".

I desperately tried to find info about Babo on the net, but besides Justin's info, absolutely nothing. And Babo was an Aladin's cave compared to the recent recoveries from Balalae.

Babo is the place where all 3 of the Zero replica's/rebuilds from Flight Magic came from. Bruce Fenstermaker obtained those at Babo, plus the POF's Betty, Judy, and Tony. There's an old Air Classics from the early 90's or so that has an article on that entire recovery. Also, there was an article back in the late 70's or early 80's in Airpower magazine about the wrecks there as well. There might be an article in an Old National Geographic magazine from the late 40's or early 50's about Babo.

But, yes, you are right, there is not a whole lot of information about Babo.

Sorry about the non specific dates of the issues, but most of those magazines I haven't read in decades.
