It’s damn near a 2 mile drive from the nearest gate. You can see them from the ramp outside airport cafe by the old tower, but that’s on the other side of the field. No public access.
There’s an F106 also sitting there & a Catalina that has the nose/cockpit cut neatly in half fore/aft, handful of various Saabs (Drakens, Lansen etc), 3 Hueys, pair of CH 46 Phrogs, some other fighter/trainers I’m not sure about. DH Devon…
& as it’s a Peruvian aircraft there was talk of pranking the owner with 1gal ziplock full of powdered sugar… “Hey, look what I found… & there’s like 200 more in here….”
He posted on FB yesterday that he was upset that his favorite restaurant had closed shop & moved location. He missed the irony that it was right across the road from his now closed museum so isn’t seeing anywhere near the number of customers, hence the move & he might just have had some impact on the business owners decision 😉
All we’d need to settle it is something showing what engine is in the Dornier version. I was just going by what I was told at the local Huey ship last year when I noticed a row of Dornier booms laying in the yard. I looked on line yesterday but couldn’t find a mention of the engine. 🙂
The pics I can find of the Dornier version show the pitot on the roof, that’s an H feature . US D(Delta) models had it on the snout.
