Here's a couple of strays..
#1 A-7 Corsair on pole at the "Don Garlits" Museum of Drag Racing, Ocala
29 degrees,01',20.79" N; 82 degrees, 09', 18.23" W.
Got it! Thanks. I especially like these single airframe enties, since the museum are already relatively well known.

I am just adding that one to the notes, I won't create an entry for it. I would assume that Mr. Travolta would prefer that his house not show up on a locator!
However... There appears to be a DC-3/C-47 parked on the other side of the airport. Is it static, or regularly operated from there?

Don't know if the C-47/DC-3 is operational or not Mike.

You have White 1 as the correct coordinates.

You need to add Aero American in New Symrna Beach to the list. They are located on the north end of the field.
On the the south end of the field there are some Caribou's and Albratross.
There is also Wings over Miami http://www.wingsovermiami.com/

Just a note on the MacDill AFB posting, the mentioned B-29 is a KB-50 tanker. Thanks for the great posting about our local treasures.

#11: Are any airframes displayed at New River MCAS?
MCAS New River is in North Carolina
The name of the town is Jacksonville, NC
Could this be the Jacksonville NROTC you are looking for?
The city is located north of Wilmington, NC along the Coast.

Heres another for FL,
There is a Gulfstream I on display at Disneys MGM Studios.
It was the airplane that Walt used to find the location for his new idea. WDW
A former co-worker of mine had a plaque comemorating the last flight before being placed in the park.
Its at the south end of MGM, on the backlot. YOu can see it on Google Earth. There also used to be a GeeBee Z replica sitting there. I havent been through there in a few years.

Thanks. The correction will be in the update later today.

No problem. I figured the Locator would have a "local" section for just about everyone, and therefore most would be able to add some detail for their corner of the world, and everyone could benefit from that. I know I certainly will as soon as I get a chance to travel again.

Thanks for the tip. This will take some investigating. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case, I have found errors in my sources before. I of course would never make a mistake.

Jimmy Buffet's Albatross is at Universal Studios in front of Margaritaville in Orlando. Just down the road a few blocks there is a hotel that has a Goose sitting in a lagoon in front of the hotel.

Mike, the B-57 at the Melbourne Airport is located at the Florida Tech facility next to the main terminal.
Also, in DeFuniak Springs, there is a T-33 on a pole at the airport. The airport is off Hwy 90 about 5 miles to the west of 331. The T-33 is at the entrance on the north side of the airport near the hangers.

Is it a EE Canberra or a Martin B-57? Does it belong to Florida Tech, or is essentially abandoned as I indicate.
