So, was that Mustang getting mods to be a sprayer too? :lol:

And actually, (Don't flame me for this Brandon) after looking at it a while, I kinda like the lines on that T-6. :shock:
...Of course, I like the AirTruck too. Hmmm, I wonder how that T-6 would look with the Mustang canopy on it? Hmmmm............ :wink:

I was always a fan of the 4-engine classics. I took this at Ft Lauderdale Executive I believe (slight chance it was Opa Locka) around 1977.

Anyone know what became of that Connie?

Rich--

That looks like it might be the 1049 that finished up on the Miami firedump; if it is, it got the name "Clipper Dick" spraybombed on the nose, vandal-style, and was then flame-broiled to death over the next several years for firefighting training...a sad, albeit useful, end.

Can you put an Allison on the front now? That would make it perfect!

By the way, I noticed Honeywell replaced the Boeing 720 that was at KPHX with a 757... anyone know what happened to the four-holer?
