Colorado Air Salvage Yard To Close By May….All Must Go

Probably no Fouga there?

Many years ago I was travelling through Colorado and found the Fred C Weissbrod ‘collection’ but it was really a number of scrapped aircraft. The place was secured and had fierce looking dogs protecting it so I couldn’t gain admission. What appeared to be the fuselage of a F7U- Cutlass was almost buried under parts of more common aircraft. Going on the internet I see there is now a proper collection of machines, but sadly the Cutlass is not among them.

The Cutlass was 128451.
It went to the USS Midway museum, and I believe it later went to the Vought Heritage Foundation at Grand Prairie TX for use in the restoration of 129565.

Could try their FB page?

If anyone has an email for the yard could you please PM it to me, as mentioned above their website has exceeded its bandwidth and is offline.
Cheers Paul

Still offline, unfortunately. Any friendly people nearby who could reserve a couple of 3D40 hubs for us??? A long shot, but it might work!

Here’s an idea of what’s there.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pS9NexPqSw
