That left rudder could use a bit of duct tape.

Lynn,
You have it, a Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon tail.

Steve,
If you have some tape, bring it over.

Most aircraft show some wear and tear from setting outside. This one will get some needed attention to the rudder and other areas that time has not been kind to.

Keep em airworthy and flying when possible.

Falcon Field?

Yes, this is one of five Harpoons at Falcon Field, AZ.

How many Poons are currently airworthy/flying? Considering how (relatively) few were built, I'm amazed at how many are still out there. Seems like every few weeks another one I didn't know about pops up on this board.

The only Harpoons I know of flying within the past couple years are the AMHF's Hot Stuff and Dave Hansen's Attu Warrior.

Which reminds me..will Hot Stuff be at Thunder this year? If not, I may have to make an effort to get down to the Mt. Comfort show.
