Chanute aircraft that have found new homes

Thu Oct 27, 2016 5:19 pm

For those that have lost track of which planes went where, what planes have found new homes? I know of the C-121 and the F-100 going to the Yankee Air Museum, the P-51 went to the Museum of Aviation, the B-25 went to the Southern Air Museum, the B-52 cockpit went to the Valiant Air Command Museum, the B-58 went to Castle Air Museum and the B-47 went to Edwards AFB. What did I miss?

Since the NMUSAF at W-P already has a Texan on display...plus a fixed gear version, why do they want't another...except for trade material or to loan out to a base?

BTW: in the early 90s, they had a flying T-6G. Anyone know what became of that?

Anyone have contact information for the person responsible for the disposal of these aircraft or worst-case the scrapping company?

Try contacting: GSA Region 9, 415-522-3041, Sandra Klar.

She was handing the Chanute aircraft disposal about a month ago.

So they can scrap the big boys, give up the XFC-130H (which in fairness is on the shoulders of the USAFM) but can afford to take care of another O-2A.
