-Jack Fetsko in New London Pa had a small boneyard of Helicopters back in the day. Mostly HUPs and H-21's. Any idea if anything is still there? Leon Cleaver bought HUP-2 128566 from Jack back in 81 and apparently some parts off of HUP-2 128516 (since I have those parts now). I guess some airplane stuff was still there afterward.

:

Check Spitfire Aerodrome, Pedricktown, NJ. Fetsko purchased it maybe 25 - 30 years ago?

Quite often.

I been in contact with Walt Powell. He sold F-86F to Ben Gimbert.

walt now has a f-86h cockpit and putting it together. He said he got it from Mass. He is also looking for a F-86 canopy.

Walt's F-86H is ex-Socorro, NM. It's ex-MASS ANG, so yes, he got it from Mass, but via quite a round-about route!

And so the Freeport F 86 is where.

In front of PA National Guard HQ at Fort Indiantown Gap there is a former PAANG TF-102. It is 56-2346. I worked on it in active duty Air Force when it was with the 332nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Thule Air Base, Greenland.
