Warbird Information Exchange

When I was there a few years ago there were some Sikorsky helicopters and other warbirds pushed over in the weeds near the Warbird Adventures building. Whatever became of these, and what all was in there?

I am curious to hear where they went. Anyone?

Do you want to find locations of displayed, stored or active aircraft? Then start with the The Locator.
Do you want to find or contribute to the documented history of an aircraft? If so then start with the Airframes Database.

I'll have to review the pics I took, but I thin there may have been an Avenger and a Tracker there as well.

The orange Sikorsky is SH-34J BuNo 148030. Some pictures of her are featured in the book "Sikorsky H-34" by Lennart Lundh. Please post more pics of her of you have them. Hopefully she wasn't scrapped!

I believe the Avenger went to a wixer named HELLDIVER. If he had not got it I would have.

In several of the "Birds-eye" photos of Reilley's place on Bing Maps, you can see a lot of the old airframes he had at one time. Two of the photos show an A-26, MiG-21, F-101, an DC-3, an S-55, an S-2 Tracker and a number of others .

Other photos show it after Reilley left, but show the MiG-21, the S-2, an F-104 and a T-6.
