I began to wonder how many folks have made the trip to OSH but may never have seen the boneyard at Basler Conversions. So if you like the DC-3/C-47, this is where elephants go to die...
This would be a good site to add to the Locator. Where exactly is Basler located?

The journey continued south along the east shore (through an assortment of sun, rain, and blowing snow) to Fond du Lac, where the following Cobra can be found at the Fond du Lac County Veterans Memorial Building, located at the intersection of Boyd Street and Fond du Lac Avenue (North end of the Fond du Lac County Fairground).
Is that AH-1 on the NE corner, SE corner or SW side? It is not on in the Google or Maps Live images.

Like Chris stated, Basler Turbo Conversions is located on the SW corner of Oregon Street (runs N-S) and 35th (E-W). Search on the SE end of Wittman Airport and you'll find it. Additional airframes and major components are stored on a farm property on the east side of Oregon Street.
I should have clarified: Basler doesn't scrap DC-3's, but rather stretches the fuselage and adds turbines.
The AH-1 is located on the SW side of the intersection of Boyd Street and Fond du Lac Avenue in Fond du Lac.
And Mike: As sad as the photos turned out, you are welcome to glean whatever you find. Same goes for Scott and the registry. I can handle the shame.
