While turning wrenches on Pooner's Poon, we got to talking about the ghost PV's of Louisiana...So I thought it was about time to throw a little more wood on the fire, and see if I could jog some memories from past posts on missing Harpoons, or enlist the help of any newcomers to the WIX site as to the whereabouts of these aircraft....
#1... N6853C 37159 15-1125 Last listed as belonging to the bank...St. Landrys Bank of Opelousas
#2 N6857C 37250 15-1216 Same as above... last certification 11/10/98
AS a bonus...I will include #3... N7224C 37267 15-1233 Last listed as belonging to Ben Jones of Miami, Fl.
I do have one airframe that is un-identified, that is located in Branson, Mo., that could possibly be one of these mentioned aircraft...
The WWII museum in (Baton Rouge?) Louisiana is said to have a PV-2 there...I have in the past tried to contact this museum to question them on this subject, but haven't recieved an answer. Any Coon-A$$ WIX'ers (Said with love) in the area, or have info???
Thanks!!!!
Gary
I don't know of a Museum in BR. I know there is one in NO tho. Anybody else heard of a BR museum? If there is, next time I am in town I'll check it out and catch a shot or two.
