IIRC, the Lockheed replaced another a.c. at the mini golf (?) Venue...it's Ben a few years. What was it and where did it go?

Also, the twin nose lights on the Beech are interesting, giving it a Lockheed 10/12 (or even DC-2) look.The ship looks to have been a fairly recent flier judging by the paint.

For a minute I assumed it was the B-25 from this other recent thread ...

The Harpoon at Branson got pretty beaten up during the tornadoes a few years back. the link below will show a picture of it on Page 1, the other pages pretty much describe where it ended up.

The Loadstar was N801G. I first saw her in Atlanta where Mr Grasso was painting the fuselage in a garage. The starboard horizontal stab, and elevator, as well as the stbd. verticle fin and rudder are from Loadstar N339, that used to be in Texarkana. Props, engines, and cowls are from the Harpoon that used to be mounted there at the "Lost Treasures" mini golf course.

Only a very few parts are left of the old Harpoon, I still have a section of the cockpit, and the center cockpit console, the pilots side sliding window, and one of the side windows from the ventral gun position..... Pooner got the only straight aluminum fuselage stringers that could be salvaged, a few other small windows were obtained by others who requested parts from the deceased Poon.

Thanks Gary.

I went through your thread on the subject for information but came up short. Any chance of this being 810G vs 801G?

Thanks bunches.
