Thanks for the stories, fellows.

Augsburgeagle, best of luck on the hunt and continued foster of relations with the landowner. Wishing you much success out there - can't think of a better way to spend the day just poking about. No cells phones ringing, no business meetings to attend - just solitude, a shovel and hidden parts.

As I sit in my little drab corner of a carpeted, articifically lighted hellhole known as the office, I'm captivated with the idea of your magnificent search!

one of the exhaust collector segments and the firewalls look very C-54/DC-4...


But being bent up as they are, I can not say for certain.

AE,

Have you seen evidence of any light aircraft types (ie. liaison types)?
