This one still has me confused, is this the old or the new site? Do you happen to know coordinates?

This is NOT at Fred Ropkeys in Crawfordville IN, this is Vincennes IN at the Indiana Military Museum owned by Jim Osborne. about 75 miles apart. Confusing to me and I've been to both places......I never saw any airplanes at Ropkeys, but I believe maybe someone said they saw a plane there. I really don't know if he does or not.

Don't know where they are, but here is what they are (at least some of them):

Never been to that one, but I have been to Ropkeys. I have not been there since the move but I was there when I went to Rolls Royce school down the road. Fred was not there but his son Rick was. He indeed was tinkering with airplanes as he is a pilot. There along with all the tanks, to see them, you had to pass Ricks stuff at the hangar. C-150, AN-2, T34, OV-1D, UH-1.
