warbirds on poles

Thu Jun 14, 2007 6:55 pm

Hello, on my way down to the naval air museum I passed two sad looking warbirds on poles. One was a t-34c near an airport the other a t-28 next to a high school. There is also a beech 18 near where I live on top of a gas station that has closed down. I know all three of these warbirds are not rare by any means but still they shouldnt rot away. There was an issue of warbird international(?) that had the story of a hellcat drone on a pole. That is a pretty rare warbird.(I know not real rare but there is not to many of them left). I think these warbirds should at least be checked for corosion. Thanks for listening to me.

John,

If you don't mind please go to...

And check to see if your birds are in the database. If not let me know with as many details as you can provide (regarding location) and I will add them.

Rick,
Yes I was in Milton,Fl.

The t-28 and t-34 are in the database already and I will try to find the specific location of the beech 18. It isnt in the database. It is on a road that doesnt get much traffic. I saw it driving around about 5 years ago, and a couple of months ago from the window of a c152. Thank you
