Love it! Stearman with three .50 cals in each wing. Retractable undercarriage too!

Cheers,

There was an ad last month or so for a bunch of Stearman stuff that also included a P-51 wreck.

[51fixer]

That is a P-51H wreck.
IIRC it might be the AZ wreck recovered in the 90s?
The pieces are actually larger than I expected.

[Steve]

The P-51 is 44-64697

Bet N3N Jeff is envious.

[Tulio]

I am not sure where in NM the Stearman and Mustang parts are.

For no reason whatsoever, I believe that the photos show an airfield South of Moriarty; the place looks familiar.

Tulio my friend, that would be at Deming, NM on the south side of the airfield across the street from the WWII hangers.
Not the Piasecki guy BTW.

I sent a e mail offering $100.00 bucks but when I went back and look at the Pics I had seen some things I did not like so I changed my offer to $50.00. I let you know if he accepts it.

Ah! With apologies to anyone from Deming, but that is one ugly place Usually, when I am traveling between El Paso and Tucson,
Deming has always been a convenient refueling stop, but boy, is that a boring drive!

It would be nice though, to be able to purchase the airplane parts.

Saludos, Steve!

Do it Tulio! No wife to yell at you... I know mine would.

If only I had more time and motivation to finish my existing projects.

Ha!, Ha! Tulio I grew up south of there on a ranch at the base of the mountains
Now with those snide remarks about the area I don't think I can show my face around there any more
Boring drive , OK I can see that but if you want boring!, drive from about Fabens to Midland THATS BOOOORRRRRIIINNNGG(insert snore emoticon)

All the best Tulio

Now back on-topic......

[Tulio]

Yeah, no wife, but no $$ either

Just to clip this OT stuff: Boring: Kingman, AZ to Barstow, CA; Midland TX to Rosswell, NM and oh, so many others!

Steve, since you know the location of this airfield, do you know anything about the abandoned WWII auxiliary / training fields in AZ [Mostly south of I-10 / I-8)?
Any in NM that you have actually visited?

Here is another good source on aux field's:

For NM if you click on the highlighted AAF it comes up a current google view with the coordinates.

[Tulio]

Thank you!!!

I have on occasion, spent a few hours looking the area through Google Earth. Very interesting places, to say the least.

I have the books on the abandoned airfields in the USA, an excellent source.
