At last, I managed to go to Warrensburg today; I saw and photographed the F-84 there:

s/n 0-11639; the cockpit looks like it has instumentation; the airplane is fairly complete, two large underwing tanks; S.E. Asia Cammo; very weathered and in sore need of lots of TLC.

Surprisingly, and different from other F-84s that I have seen, this one has the engine still in place!

Next to the F-84, there is a T-39, ??-10680 "TG-039" with the sign AIR AMERICA on the fuselage. This airplane is in really bad shape; no engines; cockpit is mostly there, but some instruments have been either removed or stolen. The door was open when I saw it, and the interior contains lots of trash and airplane parts.

Inside a T-hangar in front of the F-84, there is a TH-55 Helicopter s/n 67-16755; no rotors; glazing is broken; but overall, complete.

These aircraft are the property of CMSU (Central Missouri State U??)

Nearby, an RC-3 Seabee )N-6490K)


Lee's Summit airport:

The EAA Chapter 91, has an UH-1D/H (As per sign); it rests on a trailer, skids are there, but removed; chopper looks complete.

S/n 66-00970 (as per sign).


Also, visited the Airline History Museum in KC, and saw the Martin 4-0-4 (with military history) as well as the L-1049G Connie.

Saludos,


Tulio

That's kinda funny, I was just thinking today that I needed to shoot down there and snap some pics of the F-84. I got several pics somewhere, just have to dig them out. I can remember my dad taking me to see that plane when I was 4-5 years old.

Dante, if you are like me, you probably would want to go and shoot your own pictures.

But, if you want to save yourself a trip, let me know and I will gladly send you copies of the photos I shot.

Saludos,


Tulio

I'm sure I'll jet down there sometime and get some pics, but if you wouldn't mind sending me a couple, I'd appreciate it.
