Coordinates for the Duluth Hangar


I have two CAF Wings at Duluth; Commemorative Air Force - Lake Superior Squadron and Commemorative Air Force - Lake Superior Squadron 101?

Are they actually one and the same? If not are the coordinates for Squadron 101?

I hope you don't mind the questions, I just believe clarity prevents confusion. Me and confusion are just way to familiar. ;-)

Mike


They are one and the same yes. The Squadron 101 is the accurate one... you have an OV-1 listed for the Lake Superior Squadron. That is actually American Wing's aircraft. Duluth was meerly storing it for a winter.

I will change the notes.

I will try and find that thread.

I have made the changes to the data file.


Thanks once again to everyone that has chipped in. I am in the habit of doing nightly uploads, so you should see the changes appear by tomorrow.

I always hated it when the teacher would point out my mistakes in front of the entire class. Thanks Mr. Principal! :roll: :wink:

Seriously... thanks for pointing out my gaff. It has been corrected.

The three T-38s were, IIRC, mounted outside of a now closed museum (The Minnessota Transportation Museum) which was not near the airport, but close to the Cabela's store, off I-35.

I have not been there for a while (2003) and last time I drove by, I don't recall seeing the T-38s.
