And I was driving South....

Transport airplane cabin located at the M. Schettl Sales, S. Rt.41 and SR 76, between Neenah and Oshkosh, WI, on Green Valley Road. [I would daresay, possibly, maybe, perhaps.... Douglas?]

Approximate location:

44 06' 12.19" N
88 32' 16.65" W

N.A.A. F-86H 53-1359 located at the Legion Community Park, Argyle, WI

(South Hwy 78 and West Park Road)

42 42' 21.86" N
89 52' 03.19" W

The UH-1H 65-09819 is located at the entrance to the Canton, IL airport.

The information available on site, indicates that the helicopter was dedicated 0/31/99, to the 25th Avn.Btn, Co "A" [known as "The Little Bears"], that flew this particular aircraft in Viet Nam. As part of operation "Cobra Tail," the helicopter rescued two downed pilots in Cambodia.

When withdrawn from active service, the helicopter had a total of 13,168 flying hours.

40 33' 49.98" N
90 04' 30.03" W

That nose section is from a P-3, Tulio. Thanks for the photos!

So, a different kind of Douglas? :lol:

Edit: I knew when I posted it, that it was not a Douglas, but I did not know it was from an Orion.

Long story, but there was this guy who no matter what airplane it was, if it was a four-engine prop job, then it was a Douglas DC-6. : )

Saludos, Scott.

What price did Schettl's have on the cockpit, Tulio?

Did not ask. I checked their web-site a few weeks ago, and IIRC, was something like 4k.

Very cool cockpit section. Might post that over at www.mycockpit.org . Someone might want to pick that up as a project.

Great post Tulio. I also very much appreciate the coordinates. I have updated the locator...

That's an understatement. Argyle, WI is pretty far off the beaten path.

Just watch out for the blind kid playing banjo...
