In case, this didn't make it thru the laboriously SLOW PM system,

Re: Bowen Field

Lookin' closely at the west end of Bowen (resolution on GE isn't the greatest), I saw:

3 x Cessna 0-2s, center at 18.33.35.68N 42.20.04081W (look for the twin-booms)
Another O-2 at 18.33.35.91N 72.20.06.02W
Cessna 402 covered in weeds just below that one.
Possible Beech D-18s below the 3 O-2s
Possible Twin Otter
Probable Sikorsky S-58Ts at 18.33.36.49N 72.20.05.03W

There were a number of derelict Cessna and Piper singles at Bowen when I was there in '94.

Kind of sad, really. The Haitian AF guys, particularly the Commandante, were a proud bunch, unlike the Army rabble, and tried to take care of their planes & were proud of them as well...
