We had another fantastic Dinner Dance and Fly-in at Eagle Field. It is right in the middle of CA so nobody in CA has an excuse for not making it! :lol:

What's that wreck (carcass) in the background of the 4th picture down? Is is a C-82?

It is a P2V-3W. It isn't a wreck just a disassembled airframe.

Many great shots in this thread, but I saw the wreck as well and would like to know what it is. I don't have anything in the Locator regarding a B-24 or C-82 at Eagle Field.

The PV2 is not a wreck, but a disassembled airplane that used to be on display at Griffith Park in LA.

Neat pics, thanks for sharing.

Is this B-25 still there? I took this back in 2000, one of the last times I was there.
