Was anything seriously preventing her from getting airborne again?

Not as sexy as a Mustang but it would be a really cool plane to see at air shows!

That means that Leeward had two Guardians.

I heard that the ex-Aero Union one on the ramp at Chico had been donated to the Chico Air Museum after his death.

Found it! From here last year (pg 79 of Taigh's pinned PV-2D(Tanker 101) thread)

Taigh,
What is that thing with the foldy wings parked next to the Howard?

I am not sure what the foldy wing aircraft is you are referring to. Our PV-1/Howard Super Ventura project used to be on the ramp at Chico next to Jimmy Leewards Grumman Guardian. Is this what you were asking about? I heard that the Guardian has since been donated to the Chico Air Museum.


It can still be seen on google earth, on the ramp outside the CAM.
