Ohio Locator

[mrhenniger]

Thanks to Jim Bates and my standard resources, I have populated the Ohio section of the locator...

If anyone has any information about potential entries that are missing or can provide better map locations, etc., I would like to hear from you.

There is a T-33 on a stick at Wadsworth Airport near Akron. I can get a photo for you as soon as I get home.

Thanks Jim,

I already have it...

Although I appreciate the offer of the photo, that is not what the locator is about. However, I would suggest that Scott would like to have a picture of it for the registry!

Just as an FYI, the map is right, but the World of Rubber is in Akron, not Alliance.

Also, I'm not sure how you want to do this, but the Crawford museum does not have their F2G at that location. I believe Bob Odegard has it at his facilities. As for the museum proper, they only have an F2G engine sitting in the basement. Just mentioning

I love the site, I had no idea there was a MiG-21 in Northeast Ohio!

Corrected.

Here is how we can do it... You point out the errors, I will fix them. Simple eh?

but the Crawford museum does not have their F2G at that location. I believe Bob Odegard has it at his facilities.

Actually the F2g is at the Planes of Fame in Chino for now if I remember correctly.

As for the museum proper, they only have an F2G engine sitting in the basement. Just mentioning

This do have the following displayed don't they?
DGA-3, DH-4, P-51K

Their website has a picture of the P-51. What other airframes (if any) do they have?

Cool! Someone found this useful.

I thought that was Odegard's Racer #57 in Chino.

The one that that PhantomAce is refering to is Racer #74 owned by Crawford, but Odegard will restore it for them at his facilities. http://www.warbirdregistry.org/corsairr ... 88463.html

Also MAPS has 5 airframes? They have quit a bit more than that.

Okay,let's see if I have the correct idea of the locator. If you're asking for the correct location of the 178th TFG, OANG at Springfield, it is on State Route 343, about half-way between Routes 68 and 72. The A-7 and F-84 are pylon-mounted, the other two----an F-100 and T-33 are on the ground.

Also, at Lancaster----besides the A-26 we have a C-45, L-5, L-16 and a Gnat. The L-birds are hangared. Oh, and don't forget Tallichet's B-25, which is not technically "at" Lancaster.....he just hasn't moved it anywhere yet (for over 3 years)

You have the correct idea! Thanks! This is good information. I have left the entry as "Area" since I have not been able to pin point them using Google Earth (the image is poor in that area), but your description in invaluable. I have driven around in circles before looking for something only to leaving without success only to find the exact location on the internet at a later date. Bummer. Your info will help prevent an intrepid warbird hunter from wasting time.

Is the B-25 viewable at the Historical Aircraft Squadron? Or is it at another part of the airport?

Thanks again.

Thanks for pointing that out. Corrected.

Mike, the 25 is sitting across the ramp from our (HAS) hangar. And, by the way, the C-45 is in the yard on the south side of the hangar.

Thank you! I forgot to mention that, but it was a good thing my brother (CorsairFreak) had my back!

Mike, also...(this could get to be a habit), last I knew there was a UH-1 sitting at the WACO museum in Troy. I believe this is the same one that used to sit outside the VFW in Vandalia near the Dayton Airport.
