F-84 in WV

[Mudge]

Mrs. Mudge and I were on a trip to New Martinsville, WV, and on a back road in WV we spotted this outside a auto graveyard. The location was definitely a:
"Paddle faster. I hear banjo music." kinda' place.






Before someone asks...I DO NOT have the tail number.

Wow, that's one sad looking F-84F! Thanks for the photos Mudge (I think). Glad you got out of there safely

-1 for improper grammar. Any real southroner know that Ya'll is plural, never singular.

Not necessarily true, the plural of Y'all is "All Y'all". Though it should be plural to start with...

Somewhat like "over yonder". Just where the H E double hockey sticks is "yonder" anyway?

Maybe it's where the guests of the folks in the mobile home stay.

and, @ the end of the work day, everyone in the South 'Goes t' th' howse' instead of going home (heritage hold over from when everyone worked on their own farm?), in New Orleans, when you meet a friend you don't ask 'what's up?' you ask 'where ya at?' shortened to 'YAT?' but then again folks there don't go TO their parents house, they go 'by my mamas house'.

'HEY! cummawn ovah awn Sattiday, we goin take th' wheels off'n the howse'

Small speedbrakes, short tail, small blow in doors. Can't tell from the photos, but I am willing to bet that it has a "poor man's flying tail". Be willing to bet that it does not have spoilers either. That all adds up to an aircraft no later than an F-84F-20-RE, or an F-84F-10-GK. I can not tell for sure from the photos, but offhand the battery compartment looks like the one on a General Motors built airplane. My guess is an F-84F-10-GK, or earlier. In either case an early F-84F. Not sure what it is, but fairly sure what it ain't!

And when I lived in Houston I was always corrected about how to pronounce N-E-W O-R-L-E-A-N-S: It is Narlans!

[The Inspector]

Having lived there for 6 1/2 years, it's actually NAWLUNZ (one word) altho I actually lived in the suburb of Metarie (Met're) and it's pronounced Shal-met battlefield not shallamay, and the actual battle field is now under the river. In High School one of the girls who went there too must have had very cruel parents, they named her Nola and her last name was Beaver
Dan'l Boone done was famous for shoot a Cajun- naw! Dan'l Boone was famous for shoot A bear, well teacha lady, if Hebert don't was a Cajun, who is?

See Cliff, that's your fault for actually living in Houston-

Tell me about it. Abysmal weather, plagues of insects. critters I could not even identify. I did make some good friends though and got to visit the Air Guard when they were transitioning from One-Oh-Wonders to F-4Cs.
