This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Came across this picture on a modeling forum I frequent. No information was posted concerning the picture. Anybody know something about it? Quite an interesting modification!

Never seen that before. Looks like jet pods from a Neptune. By the way, copy and paste worked for me

According to ov-1mohawk.org, it was used by the Pittsburgh Institute Of Aeronautics. It is currently at the American Wings Air Museum at the Anoka Airport in Minnesota. Here's a picture I took of it last year:

It was at P.I.A. when I went there in 1981-82, sans jet pods.
I believe the jets were a class project later on, P2V Neptune pods IIRC, not sure if they ever ran or not. Getting glassy eyed A&P's ready for the "glory of aviation".
When we went to fire up the props the plane leaked fuel like a sieve. They gave up on that idea, at least while I was there.
