Harpoons at Chandler and Mesa

Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:45 am

updated my page
http://www.ruudleeuw.com/usa08-chandler.html
with that story on stolen parts from N7257C
thread here on WIX:
http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... tdays=0&po\
storder=asc&start=0

Questions:
1. Where is N7257C now? It wasn't at Chandler last May when I visited!
http://www.ruudleeuw.com/usa08-chandler.html
It is not at Mesa's Falcon Field which I visited the next day
(http://www.ruudleeuw.com/usa08-mesa_falcon.html)

2. C/n of this PV-2 Harpoon: 15-1281 or 15-1236 ?
The first one is in my database and confirmed as correct explicitly a few
years ago while the other one
is mentioned in the Lockheed Twins bible by mr Marson..?

57C is in Mesa, Pooner pulled it off and fit not 10lbs, but 20lbs into a 5 lb bag.

He fit it into a small hangar

Here is the link to Matt's thread on the hangar story. It proves that you should never give up on an idea. :)

We're moving our Mooney into a hangar about the same size as Pooner's this weekend, and I wondered out loud if we were going to have enough room. Ellen made mention of Pooner's Harpoon, and I was able to relax a little! :wink:
