Coordinates for the Duluth Hangar

I have two CAF Wings at Duluth; Commemorative Air Force - Lake Superior Squadron and Commemorative Air Force - Lake Superior Squadron 101?

Are they actually one and the same? If not are the coordinates for Squadron 101?

I hope you don't mind the questions, I just believe clarity prevents confusion. Me and confusion are just way to familiar.

They are one and the same yes. The Squadron 101 is the accurate one... you have an OV-1 listed for the Lake Superior Squadron. That is actually American Wing's aircraft. Duluth was meerly storing it for a winter.

I have been to Winona twice, first time in 2000 and the second, in August 2003. Both times, the aircraft visible, were inside the technical school hangar, and not outside.

I will change the notes.

The only warbird outside IIRC, was the F9-FP (sp?) that now has been moved to another location, as listed recently here at WIX.

I will try and find that thread.

They are one and the same yes. The Squadron 101 is the accurate one... you have an OV-1 listed for the Lake Superior Squadron. That is actually American Wing's aircraft. Duluth was meerly storing it for a winter.

I have made the changes to the data file.


Thanks once again to everyone that has chipped in. I am in the habit of doing nightly uploads, so you should see the changes appear by tomorrow.

I always hated it when the teacher would point out my mistakes in front of the entire class. Thanks Mr. Principal!

Seriously... thanks for pointing out my gaff. It has been corrected.

The three T-38s were, IIRC, mounted outside of a now closed museum (The Minnessota Transportation Museum) which was not near the airport, but close to the Cabela's store, off I-35.

I have not been there for a while (2003) and last time I drove by, I don't recall seeing the T-38s.

They were moved down by the airport now. About 1/2 mile south of the original location.
