Walnut Ridge AAF Scrapyard c.1948

[FAH 619]

Boneyard Folks:

We would like to hear/know the whereabouts of Mr. William Thompson. He took some unique B/W P-63Es pictures waiting for disposal at Walnut Ridge AAF c.1948.

We also suspect some of these samples (5), were salvaged by private brokers and later were flown/sold south of the border. c.1948. Tks

p.s Plz write us at --->www.catrachowings@yahoo.com if you have poss information/pictures of this AAF base in Arkansas.

Definatly a sad sight. Too bad they scrapped them all. Theres a ton of B-25s in that one pic.

Aaaaaagh...!

File under "If Only", eh...

Now if Walt Soplata had lived in Arkansas and begun collecting about half a decade earlier...

I'm going to bed now, and will probably have a nice melancholy nightmare about Walnut Ridge...
