New Jersey Locator

Fri Dec 01, 2006 8:56 am

I have taken my best shot at the New Jersey Locator. You can find it at...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.html#USA_NJ

I have a few questions...

#1: Is there a C-141 displayed at McGuire AFB?

#2: Is there a branch of the Yankee Air Force in Fairfield?

#3: Is there an A-4 is a "Ewing Memorial Park" in Teterboro?

#4: Is there a Connie in West Milford?

As with all sections of the Locator, if there is anything missing you know about, feel free to let me know.

Concerning NAS Lakehurst, I believe the gate guard is a F-11, not a RA-5C. I'll double check my files tonight.

Yes, the Connie is at Greenwood Lake Airport. Was flown in many years ago, and thik its part or was part of a restaurant. Was offered up to NJ museums a few years ago, but none bit.

Thanks Kevin. I am having trouble finding the Greenwood Lake Airport. What is close-by?

Regarding the A-4 in Ewing Memorial Park:

When I was working in West Trenton/Ewing NJ several years ago, I believe there was an A-4 displayed at the near-by Mercer County Airport. However, one day I was surprised to pass by the site, and find that the A-4 was no longer there. It seems reasonable to conclude that the Township of Ewing took possession of this A-4 and placed it in their park.

The below link offers additional evidence for this conclusion.

That is the same site that tipped me off to the move of the A-4. I just can't find the location of the park it is in now. If you happen to know I would like to hear from you.

RE: A-4

The weblink I referenced in my earlier post stated that the park is located next to Ewing Twp's new municipal building. FYI, the address of that building is 2 Jake Garzio Drive, Ewing Township, New Jersey.

Hope this helps!
