Fate of the "Stratolina?"

Fri Dec 12, 2014 6:13 pm

Someone on the WIX Facebook page was asking about the KC-97 cockpit sectionrescued by the Late Great Gary Austin. Does anyone here know whatever became of it? For that matter, what happened to the PBY he rescued?

The fuselage of the PBY went to Pima. The wings (part of them anyhow) went to Australia. The C-97 flight deck went to a private owner in Oklahoma and I crushed up/scrapped the fuselage section.
