I'd be interested to see thier storage area detailed in pics. They've got stuff in storage they have no intention on working on (mostly because they've lost the paperwork on it). Maybe someone's next static display project is sitting around in there?

Hey Chris,
They have a T-28 that my step-dad flew while at NAS Whiting Field about 1976. Picture please!

We may have some trouble getting into the storage areas or the Harrah hangar I think it's called without some type of "in". I'll try to get everyones pic requests done and post them Saturday

Further to the PBY request from Tex Fan above, there are in fact hulls of four PBYs at Pima now and photos of any of those would be great (although they may not be accessible).

Not attempting to steal Chris's post but since James is not going to be around to show Chris I was able to meet up with James last Christmas. He showed me around the back lot which was really great, THANKS JAMES :D :D :!: :!: .
Although I did not get pics of everything I did get a couple of the PBY hulls. A couple B-50 shots in a little bit.

Steve -many thanks for those photos of two of the four PBYs now at Pima. The red one is obviously N322FA but the unmarked grey one is unfortunately still unidentified. It is known to be an ex-RCAF Canso A amphibian with the main wheel wells plated over and it came from Geneseo, NY having earlier spent many years on a farm in Ontario with a number of other ex-RCAF Cansos.
