I have been to both museums. There are both listed in my aviation museum / site locator which I simply call the “Locator”. It can be found at…

It has decent coverage for about 2/3 of the U.S.A. and all of Canada, New Zealand and Australia. I have not done much Google Earth hunting for sites in Europe yet, so for that reason I hadn’t mentioned this tool on this forum yet. However, if you are planning a trip to Canada or the US to visit aviation sites, this might be a useful trip planning tool.

I am glad this pics have been enjoyed. I had fun finding them. It wasn’t too hard as I was using a tool I call the Locator…

…it is still in it’s infancy and unfortunately doesn’t cover the UK and Europe
very well yet. I hope to work on those sections starting next fall.

John: Thanks for the correction. I have editted the post above, the Travelogue page and will be correcting the photo album soon.

I do have some questions about serial numbers…

#1: BuNo of the F9F in Tonawanda?

#2: S/N of the UH-1 in Wheatfield?

#3: S/Ns of the C-47 and C-119 at the Niagara Falls ANG?

#4: S/N of the UH-1 at Freedom Hill Park in Sterling Heights, MI?

I have a copy of USA Military Out of Service on order, but it has not arrived yet and I am too impatient. 😉

I clearly should check my messages here more often. Most of my spare time is spent with VWC and my website now, so I don’t spend time reading the messages boards like I once did.

Are any of the aircraft going to be at Yankee or the Gathering of Legends this summer?

The Corsair will be at Oshkosh.

Nothing at Yankee.

Four aircraft to Geneseo; Hurricane Mk IV, Fox Moth, Mustang and Staggerwing.

The Mustang will be going to Legends.

They are also off to Baggotville this weekend with a few airframes.

Mike

That is great news. I am so impressed with Mr.Potter and his commitment to
preserve Canada’s aviation history. Any word on when the F4U Corsair will
arrive?

Thanks!

The Corsair will be arriving at Vintage Wings this Thursday at around 5 PM weather permitting.

But I note they state it served with the RNZAF. Wrong, there never was a 78 Sqn RNZAF. This is an RAAF machine through and through.

Sorry about that Dave. I have corrected the error above. No matter how careful one is, these mistakes get through, even with proof readers.

Mike

Mike is that T33 runnable?

No. Keith is (or was, I haven’t seen him in years) a truck driver with access to flat beds, etc. He picked it up a CFB Mountain View himself. He told me the wings had be cut off. Being a resourceful kind of guy he trucked it all back to his house and managed to put it back together. At the time it was a hobby just to keep it looking good.

Mike

But I can’t find any info about it’s serial.

Thanks anyway. It is very much appreciated.
