[mrhenniger]

I just finished taking the Florida section of the locator as far as I can on my own. You check check it out at...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.html#USA_FL

If you have anything you can add, correct, or improve I would like to hear from you. A reply here is great. PMs work as well. I have also created a new form for submissions to the locator which may be found at...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocatorForm.html

I have a number of questions which I will list below.

I look forward to any comments you may have. Thanks in advance.

[Bill Kistler]

Mike, I have sent various emails over the last week concerning FL and TX, have you been getting these. They will answer some of your questions.

For example #18, it appears to be a A5 not an F4 at Sanford. Fits since these flew out of there.

Bill.

[Gary Norville]

Answers to some of your questions-

#2 There is a Beech 18 at a South Daytona mini golf course.

#3 There is an F-14 across the street from the Deland NAS museum and a TBM in the backyard

#18 There is an A5(?) Vigilante outside of Sanford

#20 The C-123 is now located at the VAC in Titusville

Jay Wisler can probably answer the rest of your questions.

Veterans Park is right off of Tyndall Parkway ( aka 15th street or HWY 98 ). If going west on the road take a right on to Veterans Street aka Cherry Street, the park is just down the road on the right side. IIRC it's a F-15A.

Guess I sould have looked at the web-site before I made my last post. You already had the F-101's listed, Eglin Armament Center listed, and the Ghost Squadron at Tyndall AFB, Flag Park Listed. Should have looked before I spoke/wrote.

In the Eglin AFB area there a quite a few Aux Fields with derelict AC on them. Here's the web site with old and recent shots of the Fields, showing the AC.

As for a museum at Tyndall, I've never heard of one, and neither has my dad, we both live here, he's retired AF, and I'm still in the AF.

[mrhenniger]

I have received some input for the Florida Locator via email. They have been added. As well I have sorted through the huge number of replies here (not that I am complaining). Here is are my responses…

Mike, I have sent various emails over the last week concerning FL and TX, have you been getting these. They will answer some of your questions.

I hate to say it Bill, but I may not have. I did get one from you earlier this week. I reply to all that I receive, so if you didn’t get a reply… shoot. Do you keep copies of emails you sent? Try sending directly to, mrhenniger@hotmail.com, or use the Locator submission form given above.

I have been having trouble with my email forwarding via mrhenniger@AerialVisuals.ca. I am in the process of removing it from my electronic signatures (I forgot about those). That might explain the email trouble?

For example #18, it appears to be a A5 not an F4 at Sanford. Fits since these flew out of there.

#18: Is there a F-4 at the Central Florida Regional Airport in Sanford? MRS: No, the is a A-5 located near the main terminal. MRS: N 28° 45.890 W 081° 14.249

Got it!

#18 There is an A5(?) Vigilante outside of Sanford

Aaaahhh… So if I am interpreting this correctly, there is an A-5, but it is not “in town”.

#2 There is a Beech 18 at a South Daytona mini golf course.

Got it, but it is closer to Daytona, off route 1A.

#3 There is an F-14 across the street from the Deland NAS museum and a TBM in the backyard.

Added.

#20 The C-123 is now located at the VAC in Titusville

Noted.

At Tyndall AFB there is a Flag Park with the Ghost Squadron where there is an F-4C, F-15A, F-106A, F-86D.

I think I have this flag park at…

If I understand you correctly, there is no museum building at this location.

Also at Tyndall there is what if IRC a MIG-23 parked in front of the WEG (Weapons Evaluation Group) building.

Thanks for that tip. However… I have no idea where the WEB building is. I gave the area a good look, but with my luck it is painted in camo. Can you give me a clue as to the location?

There at 3 F-101's on display in Panama City, one in front of the Community College,

This is the one, correct?
http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3 ... =1&iwloc=A

There at 3 F-101's on display in Panama City … One in front of or near the Civic Center

This one?
http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3 ... =1&iwloc=A

There at 3 F-101's on display in Panama City, … and the last one at the Ball Fields off of HWY 22 (this one was next to Food World at one time).

That one must be this one then. I wondered that that star shaped thing was.

I’ll check it out.

Thanks.

#6: Are any of the following displayed at Hurlburt AFB? - A-37, B-25, C-46, UH-1, O-1, O-2, OV-10, T-28 or U-10 !

Yes the Air Commando Park at Hurlburt Field has an A-26. AC-119K, C-46, CH-3E, AC-130A, B-25J, OA-37B, OV-10A, A-1E, AC-47, C-123K, O-1E, T-28A, O-2A, UH-1P, U-10A.

Thanks! Google Earth is good, but it is nearly as good as a local who as been there.

#1: The Florida Military Aviation Museum in Clear Water may be closing. Is there anything left there? MRS: Everything is gone. Airport expansion.

Noted.

#3: Is there an A-6 at DeLand NAS? MRS: There is a F-14 at N 29° 03.456 W 081° 17.281

Already had that one. Thanks anyway!

Noted. Thanks. Are the components displayed?

#12: In Kissimmee, what are the coordinates of the hangers for...
Stallion 51? MRS: N 28.29294 W 81.44368

Noted. You coordinates indicate not a hanger on the same ramp as the former Reilly facility, but rather a hanger across the street? I now have it as…
http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2 ... =1&iwloc=A

#12: In Kissimmee, what are the coordinates of the hangers for...
Warbird Aventures? MRS: Chuck Gardner will have a GPS coordinate than I on this one

You might think so… however Chuck emailed me coordinates for someplace in Lackland. Chuck, you kidder you… are you reading this?

#12: In Kissimmee, what are the coordinates of the hangers for...
White 1 Foundation? MRS: N 28.30132 W 81.4456

I now have…
http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2 ... =1&iwloc=A
…Is this correct?

#15: Is there a museum at Tyndall AFB? If so, it may have the following in the collection: B-57, F-86, F-89, F-100, F-104, T-33 MRS: This may be the collection at the Armament museum.

That makes sense. I already have that one noted as well.

There is a F-4, F-15, F-86 and F-106 at Tyndall at the Airpark.

Already have them. Thanks anyway.

#19: Is there a F-15 displayed at Mac Dill AFB in Tampa? MRS: No

Central Florida AFA is working an F-4 for Orlando Executive Airport

Noted. If you could let me know when it is displayed that would be great.

There is B-52 at Orlando International Airport N28 26’59 W 81 18’45

Thanks for the offer, it is appreciated, however I am not taking pictures for the locator at this time. It is still in it's infancy, and there is MUCH work to be done on the listings. If you can help to improve the locations with better coordinates, street addresses, etc. I would very much like to hear from you.

However... Scott would probably appreciate receiving photos of the planes for the Warbirds Registry (see link at the top of the page). You can email submissions to him at... submit@REMOVETHISwarbirdregistry.org

[ffuries]

Yes those are the locations for the 3 F-101's (Marina Civic Center, Callaway Ball Park, and Gulf Coast Community College.

Just did a Google Map search it appears the MIG has been moved, I'll do some asking at the base to find out what happened to her.

Correct there is no museum at Tyndall AFB.

I live in Callaway (right outside Tyndall AFB), I'm stationed at Eglin AFB Aux Fld 3, which is down the road from main-base Eglin, and also just down from Hurlburt Fld. So needless to say I have access to all three bases on a daily basis. So if you need Reg/Tail numbers for any of those AC just drop me a line.
