Cool shots Dean! I like how the left aileron on the Lodestar is deflected

Columbus Rickenbacker, OH, 2004 -

DC-8 isn't part of "Corrosion Corner", but the 2 C-130s are part of Snow Aviation's semi-airworthy fleet depending on what stage of the C-130M program they were in at any given hour.


This aircraft is now "out" of corrosion corner and flying for Desert Air Cargo (N153PA)


Denver Centennial, CO, 2003 -



Fort Worth Meacham, TX, 2007 -


This one is semi-corrosion corner as it is preserved and will be going on display at some point with VFM.

These two Flying Boxcars are under very slow, but steady restoration to flight again in Palmer, Alaska.





A pair of very forlorn looking C-47's at Palmer, Alaska.



Can anyone tell me what this is? It was also sitting at Palmer, but I don't know who it belonged to.
