I have taken this section as far as I can on my own, and I am looking forward to your input.

Do you want to find locations of displayed, stored or active aircraft? Then start with the The Locator.
Do you want to find or contribute to the documented history of an aircraft? If so then start with the Airframes Database.

What is this!!! No replies?!?!?!? Does no-one on WIX live in Louisiana? No-one has passed through recently?

I am starting to loose faith in the great god that is WIX!

#6 - Aircraft is an F11F Tiger painted in Blue Angels colors

#7 - There are two aircraft parked off the east side of the approach end of Rwy 35 at St John Airport. One is an F-4, the other is an A-7.
I believe this also answers #13.

#1 - Rayford Enterprises is located at 2230 S. MacArthur Drive in Alexandria. Looking on a Google Maps photo, I cannot see any aircraft at that location, unless its indoors. There are multiple businesses at that address, so its hard to tell which one is Rayford.

Thanks to all that have chipped in by posting in this thread and sending emails. I suspect the answers to the remaining questions will come with time. Until then the Loisiana Locator can be found via…
