Lockheed PV-2 BuNo 37492 (c/n 15-1458) c/r N72707
Bell UH-1 Huey serial and subtype Unkn., marked as "Coast Guard 150"
Note the mist spraying against the aircraft; these are located around most of her
Damage to the belly; I don't know if this is "decorative" to represent the theme, or as a result of moving the aircraft to this location
If anyone can tell what variant of the UH-1 this is I'd appreciate it; I'm not very well-read in that area
Main and probably tail rotors have been replaced with fake parts; both of these rotate
Tried to discern whether the PV-2 still has either of its engines, but I wasn't able to get any decent shots of either one.
Mist spraying up against the aircraft
It was hard to tell if there was glass here or just open space
The left-side engine has been modified to have its' prop rotate; I couldn't tell if the original engine was still in place

You got many more pics than I did 5 years ago! they both look the same tho! I feel bad about the poor Lockheed- she should be flying, not impaled... You can see the windows in the front and rear, and the turret location...
As to the UH-1, I think it is a "C" model.

I'm going to guess its a B model, but I really think its a A model maybe even a very early A model by the engine cowl

UH-1 could be a C, E, K, L, M, and probably a couple more short body models. It has the deflectors carried on the gunships. Some of those models were different in engine fit only.
It looks a lot like this one, and it's an E.

I hear you. The only thing I can say is that if it was not on the stick, it may not have survived. I thought I read somewhere that the people that own it really are cool about letting people get in it and stuff.
