Ohio Locator (Second Pass)

Mon Apr 16, 2007 10:19 am

I found some excellent info sources for aircraft locations. With the Mustang Gathering coming up in September I thought I should review Ohio. The Ohio section is now revised. You can find it at…
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.php?Region=OH

The need help list is included below. If you live in Ohio or are passing through please take a look and see if there is blank that can be filled in.

TIA

Mike


Here is the “Need Help” list…
EDIT: Move the list to my most recent post.

Yes as of a few years ago it was at the WACO Museum.

The F-86s are all ghosts. I'm not sure where Mr. Curtis got them from, but they aren't here anymore.

There was an F-4 in Newark, but I'm not really sure if it is there anymore or not.

Hey Mike, the Toldeo A-7, F-100, and F-84 are lined up in a row on your map already linked on your site. :)

So all the F-86s are ghosts? I was wondering about that! :shock:

The only F-86s in Ohio are the F-86H at Lunken, the F-86D at MAPS, and the USAFM and Soplata birds.

I was wondering about that. I have found many errors in those lists. Either that or many dated entries. I'll change the public notes.

I just realized I had a duplicate entry for that one. I found the F-4 using Yahoo Maps.

Thanks Jim!
