There are I think 6 junkers sitting in Putnam Ct. in an old mill complex but the guy that owns them was renting 2 other T33 trainers for movie use. They all came out of Spain he also had several L19 Bird Dog Observation planes in crates he bought as surplus with Korean markings. He still has several other military aircraft sitting as junks along with a couple Korean war Bell Helicopters hidden in a building and supposedly a couple Hueys in there as well.
Anyone heard of this stash? Photos? Over to you...
