Mike, more photos for the locator

Mon Jan 22, 2007 10:20 pm

Weather wasn't helping Saturday and Sunday on my way back from Chicago, so I stopped to check just a few airfields:

Nick Wilson Field
Pocahontas, AR
US 67 South

Image
A-7 Corsair II

BuNo 153150
VA-22 USS Nimitz

36.24185 N
90.95729 W

Atlanta Municipal Airport,
Atlanta, TX:

Image

Two Beech C-45s
One is or was, possibly N6123

A third C-45, inside a locked hangar. Reportedly three C-45s are for sale, I have the contact data if anyone is interested.

They belonged to a guy who flew them in, and was working on restoring them; the guy passed away and his widow was basically swindled by a jerk who told her that the yellow tagged and NOS cylinders and engines that she had, were junk and paid her junk prices on them.

Cessna U3A Blue Canoe
s/n 57-5852A

33.10497 N
94.19596 W

Cypress River Airport
Jefferson, TX

No Photo:
Lockheed T-33 Wings, wing tip tanks. T-33 inside hangar.

Owned by a retired airline pilot, the T-33 is going to be restored to flying condition; reportedly the owner also is completing a Great Lakes.

32.74621 N
94.30469 W

Thanks Tulio! I have added two entries to the Locator (A-7 & T-33). I just uploaded the file. Thanks for the photos, but I really cant use them at this time. I am very busy just collecting the info, but I bet Scott would like to use them for the registry.

Scott: Are you reading this?

I'll see about snagging them for the registry when I get home.

That is very cool! That is my old Squadron, before it became VFA-22. I'll have to keep that location in the back of my head if I ever travel in that area.

YCBAR!

I have several shots of the A-7, as well as of the C-45s and the Cessna U3; if anyone wants a high res shot, let me know.
