Yeah, well y'all just wait 'til I get my AirTruk, then we'll see who's laughing then.

Gary

I had glanced at it and thought it was 206 Golf Bravo, my bad!

Ryan,

If that fire truck's an ex-USAF or USAAF model, the DoD Fire Academy down here'd love to get it!

rwdfresno What do you still have?

Me and my father are interested in purchasing some old beat up jeep or military truck and are interested in restoring it.

Could you send me a list or somthing with prices?

Thanks in advance.

The fire truck is rumored to be used at Hammer Field in Fresno, CA. There is no evidence to confirm it, but it does have some sort of markings on the bumper, but not sure what they are, and they aren't all that visible due to a combination of being painted over and fading. I have looked for a year on the truck but couldn't really find much but it is a really early FWD (1940s) and that model was definitely used by the Army Air Corps and Air Force as well as civies.

Ryan

If you have any more Clinton NAS shots or know where I can get them can you let me know?

Dan

Dan,

The Clinton-Sherman Airport Authority used to have photos posted, but since the campaign to become a "Spaceport" began it appears that they purged most of the historical items from their websites. I think I have copies of some of their photos in my files--I'm on my way to work now but will try to find them and post what I have tonight (provided I find anything in my neat, organized storage!! ) Here's a start:


Scott

Thanks Scott!

As you know most of the Navy and Marine aircraft went there to be chopped up by Sherman Iron Works. All but 7 PBJs one of which is mine went to Clinton.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

Here is one more photo of the storage area looking east. On the right of the picture is the PB4Y-1 area (marked "5"), and just below the runways are what look to be twin engined birds--Harpoons or PBJs maybe? This picture was shot much earlier than the first one I posted, as the field in the lower left corner is still fairly empty. Interesting side note to these photos is that the warehouses on the far side of the Cantonment Area are still standing, the last structures from Navy days.

For anyone who is wondering, this station was the storage and scrapping site for over 8,800 Navy and Marine Corps WWII aircraft, and is located at Burns Flat, Oklahoma.

Scott

Thanks again Scott. If by some chance you find any pictures of stored PBJs sitting at Clinton my crew would love to see them. All of the Mitchells that you will ever see flying or static are Army Air Corp or lendlease. All that is but ours. The only PBJ left out of hundreds.

Dan
