You can try here for a satellite shot.

Click on the satellite link on the right. Once in Branson, follow Hwy 76 west to where it curves to the north. Looks like a Harpoon right at the curve.

There must be a thing with yellow PVs in mini-golf. Here is one that is also in the registry that I photographed in Myrtle Beach a couple months ago.

If you travel East from the Harpoon on RT 76 about 2.5 miles there is what appears to be a Mustang in front of a business on the south side of the highway. I hope it's fiberglas!

And there used to be a yellow B-25 in an amusement park or something in Florida too.

Here's what's up with that airframe:

Steve Huckvale noted the following correspondence on one of the Yahoo! newsgroups regarding the Air Kahuan TB-25N, 44-86844 (N3453G) last seen disassembled at the Roanoke, Texas, airport. This fills in a few details about the airplane as it is written by the managers of the Big Kahuna water park:

This just in from the Big Kahunas! Yes, the B25 was retired. I was afraid it would sustain further damage from Hurricanes. It was damaged several times by Hurricanes Opal, Georges & Ivan, losing parts with each storm. The plane was sold to a training facility in Dallas. The firm trains airline mechanics and this was to be a class project for them. They are refurbishing the plane and it will eventually be placed in the Jimmy Dolittle Musuem in China. Thanks for your concern, she is in a much better place now! Best regards, Tom McEvoy VP/GM Big Kahuna’s Water & Adventure Park Destin, FL
