Hey there gary, if you are down at chino still tomorrow can you shoot some photos of the C-47 thats down there? The old Talichet one.

Noizeedave,
Sorry, I left there earlier today....The onlything left in one piece that I saw of Talichet's, was the C-123...there was a forward fuselage section in the back lot with a lot of other pieces of airframe...Gary

hmm.. i was told there was a c-47 there sill. oh well. Great photos though.

I have to fly into battle creek, MI, - Des Moines, Iowa, any one want any photos from there?

Not great photos, but all I have (shot at last year's airshow):

Howz about some info on the I guess, judging by the yellow paint, ex target tug queer Spad? From where, as in any residual markings?

That sure looks like the Spad that use to be located in Geneseo's 1941 HAG's main hanger

Can anyone concur?

It's not the ex-Geneseo one. That particular Skyraider recently went on show on the USS Midway in San Diego, restored to single-cockpit spec.

I believe this one is one of the pair purchased by Jack Erickson from Robs Lamplough in the UK some 20 years ago.

Mike is correct, as usual! Skyraider is an ex-target tug and belongs to Cham Gill:

Thanks for the Clarification.
