    Just visited Front Range Airport, CO

    there is more here than meets the eye!

    Gnat’s
    XR951 fuselage on jig – used as static frame in Hot Shots
    XP541 – fuselage plus tail – used in Hot Shots
    XR993/N3XR – only very small pieces left, and I mean small – crashed on the way to filming Hot Shots
    XR998 – complete on jig
    XS109 – complete on jig
    XS513/N513X – tail in one hangar – fuselage in another – flyable

    JP’s
    XW334/N334XW/18
    XW373/N373XW/11
    XW332/N332RC/34

    Pembrook – XF799/N4273C
    A4 – 148600
    CT133 – cockpit only – unidentified

    this is certainly the Gnat hotbed of the USA – there are also countless spares – engines, wings etc.
    XS513 is only visiting to have work done.

    there is also another Gnat at Jeffco Airfield, CO

    I have photos of all the above and will post when I get time to download and sort then out in a couple of days.

    Hope this all helps someone!

    I was so impressed with the knowledge and passion of this place that I’ll be helping out around the place when time permits – nice to see aircraft being taken care of and kept for future possible flyable use.

    interesting – wanted to look up S.American destinations as I’m there in a few months – but the link takes me to Europe… maybe they have none listed?

    I think that’s all – probably missed some more recent stuff as I lost track over the last 5 years!

    Best Flights:
    Instone Bristol Frieghter – Stansted to Paris CDG with racehorses in the winter – the very young flight crew took to stuffing pieces of paper in the glazed nose to keep out the wind!

    Zantop DC6 – over the great lakes on a very still morning as the sun came up – magic

    Most fun aircarft to fly:
    Luscombe and PA25

    Last time I passed Front Range Airport a year ago there were certainly 2 of the Gnats listed as Colorado at the airfieild.

    Also a Pembrooke as well!

    I must take a trip up there to see if they are still around – and get some photos for you.
