Boeing F4B-3 or 4

I'm not picky ! Tulio, et al, has anyone seen any remnants of the Boeing F-4B-3 or 4s down south ? Brazil got a bunch prewar but I've never seen any surface.

How I wish!

The F4B4 was my favorite biplane for a very long time.

As far as I know, there are no derelicts anywhere in Brazil, and trust me, I have tried to find one.

So where'd they go, Tulio ? We're talking 30-40 aircraft, at least.

Most if not all, were cut up. But, in order to provide you with the best information available, let me ask this question at LAAHS, and will let you know if there are any survivors out there.

Thanks, would be nice if some of them were just pushed over to the side somewhere. Maybe they were just overgrown by the jungle ?

Rick,

the following was posting by one of our LAAHS members from Brazil, and as i feared, states no survivors . . .

Anyone know of any state side crash sites? Sometimes things survive in the moutains pretty well if no trails are to close to the crash site.

Sad to hear, Tulio. Thanks
