Mercer Field 2010

[DaveG]

I stopped by Mercer Field in Georgia (about 50 miles south of Chattanooga) today; I hadn't been since before the T-29 started getting chopped up. The results aren't pretty. The F-84 still sits there but the T-33 is gone. The T-29 is wide open


The cover to the radar is off beneath the plane:




Wingtips are gone:


but the ramp is down:




The cockpit is pretty worked over, of course:






Moving towards the rear, gotta watch your step:








looking out the left side


the end












the engines

I really enjoy the odd types. So seeing this is sickening. I know its not in the "popular warbird" catigory and most average joe see this and say who cares. But there are too few of these planes around.

Thanks for the photos of the sad Convair Dave. Tough to see her in that state. Would be nice of someone could save something from her (cockpit parts, control wheel, instrument panels, data plate, etc.).

Anyone know who to contact about buying parts off of her?!

Wonder where the T-33 went????
