“YV-118C Aruba Police B206B-III”
Yankee-Victor is a Venezuelan civilian registration.
Could it be Victor-Victor??

The Aeropostale titles, the stubby shape of the fuselage, would very likely make this airplane a Latecoere of an unknown model to me.
Aeropostale not only flew to the French colonies in Africa, but also flew to Argentina and Brazil during the mid to late 1920s (Antoine de Saint-Exupery flew in Argentina and other Latin American Countries).

These were given to me long ago, but I did not then, record the name of the photographer.
I am sure that they come from Dr. Gary Kuhn’s collection, though.

JS:
The approximate date is mid-January 1984 (do not recall the exact date).
As for the second part of your question, I could not say, because I have not been back to the DR ever since.

This is, I am sure, one of the airplanes that you guys mentioned.

Guys:
This is how the Red Bull P-38, ex-White Lightning, looked on April 20th, 2006, when I visited Ezell Aviation.

This is one possibility:
Look to the right and upper corner of your screen. Is there a window that reads “Remember me” with a tick mark on it?
If this is the case, and you have logged in with that mark enabled, then the next time you come to the web-site, you should not need your user-id and password.

Don’t want to upset the apple cart . . . I like to visit antique shops here in the USA, and have found many of these P-38s, evidently of recent vintage, but made to look antique….
How do you know that yours is in fact, an old model? I would like to know, in case I happen to come across the real thing.

Just for comparison:
This is a Jet Provost canopy, that I shot in Cheraw, South Carolina in 2003. There were four JPs based there.

Harald,
I have found out -but do not have any proof yet – that the country of Guatemala also donated a PT-26 to the Little Norway group.
If you ever come across such information, please let me know.

According to Scott, the WIX was hit by hackers, but the situation has been taken care of, and everything is under control.

Argentinean Hernan Longoni, published at http://www.laahs.com a few years back, an article on one of the Horten wings, titled “Gauchos and Naranjeros.”
Naranjero = Orange carrier, was the popular nickname given to one of the flying wings (IAe-38), supposedly to be used to transport oranges from the interior of Argentina, to the city, Buenos Aires. The photo shows the glider version, while the plans show how the powered version would look.
I have an html copy of the article, for those interested. Send me your e-mail address via PM.
Enclosed, a photo of the “Naranjero” [author unknown, property of http://www.laahs.com] .
Lastly, I doubt that the Argentineans would part with their aeronautical patrimony, and I would be cautious about anyone offering anything for sale, unless it is a bona-fide government entity in Argentina.
Even then, there would be plenty of red tape that should be dealt with in order to export the aircraft.

Here’s another Harrier for your list.
I shot the picture at the Charles Lindbgergh Airport, in Chesterfield, MO, March 2002.
The airplane was part of a museum that was destroyed during major flooding in the region. According to the owner of the aircraft, the wings of this Harrier are made of wood, and it was used by McDonnell-Douglas as some kind of prototype for modifications to the Harriers that went to the USMC.
The last time I saw this Harrier, was late April 2005.

Hi!
one of the guys has made contact with the DH Club for the manuals.
I have yet to do so, looking for the blueprints.
Thank you.
