Wilmington, OH Airport F-101

Wed Oct 29, 2008 11:30 am

I'd like to take a walk-around of this aircraft, as I'll be passing sort-of-by the area on the way home from Cincy, but I'm not totally sure who I should call to get permission. The airport doesn't have its own website. Does anyone know where I might get in touch with someone? I'll post the pics here if I can get them :)

Here is a link to the airfield, Airborne Airpark, phone numbers, manager, all that stuff, might help

It looks like there is a parking lot not too far away...

...you may just be able to park your car and walk up to it.

When you are there, if you don't mind, look around for a displayed F-86 and/or T-33. It may be old data I am working with, but it is possible these are displayed as well.

Guys,

The Voodoo is in the grass median between two roads. Access is easy. I just stopped by the side of the road, got out and took pictures. No one said anything...but it was a Sunday.

Mike - Unless they are really hidden there isn't a F-86 or T-33 at Airborne.

Mike-I was planning to call ahead to make sure I didn't accidentally raise the alarm or something, so I'll make sure to ask about the T-33 and F-86; I made sure to include it in my site notes. I hope to have pictures by late Friday or Saturday-thanks to you guys for the assistance! :)
