Does anyone know if there is a Huey stored or displayed at the Slayton Municipal Airport just west of Slayton, MN? If there is on there, I think it may be this one...

If anyone has photos of this Huey, in Slayton or previously at the Texas Air Museum it would be great to have a shot or two uploaded to the Airframes Database...

Thanks in advance for any info or pics!

Are you sure that's not supposed to read Slaton Municipal, Slaton, TX.
A lot of their aircraft came from the Museum in Rio Hondo...

Not the same serial number...but...

That would make much more sense. I'll look into it.
