    Great idea, it gets my vote. I don’t have historic photos, but I do have airshow photos I’d happily contribute.

    Here’s a selection from this year taken with my Canon Powershot G3(this would seem to fit the qualifications, it’s a point & shoot that cost about £350 when it was in production).

    …and don’t forget the O-1

    Thanks TNZ, I’m not sure how I forgot the L-19

    How could you even think to put a Beutiful Yank Round Engine on to the British Cessna of the Warbird Community.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The O-2, A-37, T-37, and T-50 are the Cessnas of the Warbird Community.

    YUK! It beats me why some warbird owners make a half-hearted attempt at painting their aircraft in military markings without any thought to the real markings the aircraft carried, let alone putting the serial number of the red Hunter record-breaker on it! Yes, I know it’s their aircraft and they can paint it how they want, but to my mind you either paint it as authentically as you can, researched from photos, or you don’t bother and paint it in a very smart civilian scheme. Anyone else got any thoughts about this?

    I’ve wondered often why he chose that serial number. If it were my dime, I’d look for a representitive scheme if the aircraft had no signifigant history and display the aircraft’s serial. I don’t have that kind of money, so I’m just happy that many of those who do choose the share their aircraft, however they may be painted, with us.

    Here is T.55 U-1222 registered as N23105, which is marked as WB188. N23105 is owned by Ten Air and based at the Anoka County airport in Blaine, MN. The large hangar in the background is C&P, home of the P-82E(sorry never been inside, and they don’t allow photos).

    It sounds like the hangar is a total loss. The museum and library are gone. Thankfully nobody was hurt in the fire. According to the other board, a F-105, C-60, L-39, YOV-10 and some homebuilts were lost.

    You got it Dan, it is A-12 77835/06931. It was open cockpit day when I visited and I couldn’t pass up a chance to sit in one of my favorite jets.

    Not an F-94. This particular plane first flew in 1963, the first of it’s type flew a year earlier.

    Hi Dan! It’s not an F-102 or F-106.

    Don’t be so sure. I don’t want to give to much away. It is a US aircraft, and the photo was taken in Minnesota, but not at Anoka.

    The clues so far:

    1) US designed and built
    2) Jet
    3) Not flyable
    4) Located in Minnesota

    It is not Wally’s, and unfortunately not a flyer.
