Paul Mantz Boeing P-12

Here are some pictures Jeff W. asked me to post of Kermit's P-12 in his
hanger after the hurricane. Hint.....the yellow wings............

Those pictures can make a grown man cry. Sniff... Excuse me I have to have to take a break now.

sorry the board will not let me partition the blocks but you all can figure it out... the yellow and silver wings in the pic is the 100 and you can just see the 985 for it just behind and if you look close you can see the rear fus is twisted 90 degrees... the roundells are the Avro that actually came from the turteling collection auction.. same place we got our second Eaglerock... rob mears don't cry too much but in the second pic the corsair has a hanger beam on it.. messed that acft up real good but he has most of the stuff fixed by now.. not sure what happened to the Avro

take care

Thanks everyone! According to an Air Classics article a while back the P-12 is located in a small town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Minden.

Hopefully it will fly in due course.
