Posted on AAFO forum, a suitably haphazard grammer and spelling missive on a phantom mustang under tarps and detrius...with no ideas in particular with what to do with it.

Is this something fun do do for some folks...? I suppose I am guilty of spreading the story, but I also want it aired out asap...

I doubt it!



"a litte advice litte old man problem"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a old man ask if you could look at his old mustang too see about getting it running ,first thought CAR!!!! Nope plane his plane used to fly it for a job in the 70's talk about a barn find.Now what, thing is tarped and sealed drained and corked on jacks for gosh saks, nice old man 80's ish in age,wants to do something with it not sure what, he needs alot of naps and its just him and about 100 achers in AR,I am sure someone on here could help me with what ever he wants to do with this thing,I will find all the plates and numbers I can never know what it may be, have to unearth it first like I said barn find hasen't flown in 30+ so,It's burried behined everything elese ,and ofcorse its in the back and yes it is a mustang went under and made sure it was a whole plane,thanks all I hate green army tarps very heavy and there are like 8 covering everything in the barn .

I call B.S.!

If it's anything like the fabled '32 Ford in a barn stories, it will turn out to be a Navion or something.

We've been needing a good barn yarn thread around here again. It's been awhile. A pretty good one started there on AAFO.

The one from 5 years ago that had B29Gunner teasing us with "... I gave my word that I would keep it quiet. But let me just say that one of these days when this thing finally goes public, you guys will LITERALLY $@&# a brick when you see this thing. There is really nothing else like it out there!" ... That one still keeps me up at nights.

I think its time for a little clue like: number of engines?; or radial or V12?; or year last flown?; or total known survivors static, wrecksite, or whatever worldwide?. You gotta give us something!

And whatever happened to that Japanese Zero in a cave that popped up a while back? I suppose it's already been restored and flying, right? haha....

hmmm.... give us more info! Considering how many Mustangs survived the war, there's a good chance it could be a real story.

Cheers,

David

I've heard rumors about a crated P-51 here in San Antonio as well. I consider the source somewhat credible, but not sure about that person's source.

When doing my Multi Commercial Instrument at Kingman a bunch of years ago I spent some time at the airport Museum. The old guys in there tell a tale of a "big" surprise that was saved from scrapping and waiting to be brought to light. Can't help but wonder...
