“Most of the photos on the net are at least 2-15 Years Old.”

Not sure where you get that age from?

Are you talking about GE images, or pictures in general?

I did not intend to imply that I saw them on GE. What i did intend to show, was that by finding photos from around the world, you can get a good few places to search.

Other people than the warbird recovery chaps like to take pictures of old aircraft. Many post their holiday pics on places like flickr, and with time and patience, you can find a few birds in the collection.

I’m not saying its an easy way to locate anything, but with the millions of pictures available, a bit of travling (searching) can produce something. After that its a question of asking around, to see how well known the relic/wreck is.

Here is one i found yesterday:
I’m still waiting to hear about the location.

Except that those images are 15 years old, as someone else has pointed out most of the South of the Border stuff on GE is rather old. The A-26 is no long there, the three T-6 have long been moved one is even flying now in the States and the P-51 fusl. is under restoration now. The two C-47 are still their along with the burnt out CASA.

I seem to read my post as “Hard to say how old the picture is, but it didn’t look too old, maybe sometime in the 90’s.“

I never said i saw them on GE.

Looking at airfield boneyards around the world, is pretty good practice for anyone who would like to search for aircraft this way. You get a lot better at identifying aircraft from the air, because you often have actual photos of the area (if you have the time to find them, on aircraft websites, or even on Flickr).

Nice to know some of the El Salvadorians made it. Do you know what happened to the A-26?

I remember that pic – it used to be up on barnstormers – in the very early days!

I knew someone who told me he had some pics of it but never saw them.

It’s probably still there – one for Mondariz to find I think 🙂

Hmmmmm seems like an even bigger task 😮

As I said earlier, I will work through the information I can find (regarding the pacific) and pick a few choice locations for scanning.

In the mean time I will browse remote airfields (not only pacific) and see what I can find. I resently saw a picture from El salvador with an unmarked A-26 sitting pretty between a few other planes (most if “fair” condition, not hulks or wrecks, but maybe lacking a prop, or canopy). One of the planes looked pretty much like a P-51, another was a Texan. Hard to say how old the picture is, but it didn’t look too old, maybe sometime in the 90’s.
