Birds on Sticks and in Parks

[Warbirdnerd]

I finally got around to moving all the Airplane pictures on my computer to Flikr and started an album for birds on display on sticks and in parks. I was going to revive the old thread on this topic, but many of the pictures there are no longer displayed.
I found many of these using Mike H's locator, anytime I'm travelling to a new area, I check the locator for new birds to photograph-

OH! That poor Dog model Sabre! Having rescued one from a pole unless the guardians put a lot of effort into it they become a royal mess in a big hurry.

That picture is from 1995. I have not been to Wells since then, but will grab a pic the next time I am in the area.

wow, cool pics of that '109. Something not quite "right" about it though... maybe a partial mock-up? Of note are how far the mg's stick out of the cowling... seems to have a full-ish cockpit though. Nice polished prop too. Guess they locked the leading edge slats down too.

very cool!

cheers

I have recent shots of the Mustang at Volks Field. I'll be happy to email them to someone willing to post them.

Also, there is a F-102 on a stick at Fairchild AFB...

A I'm sure the P-40 is a replica...Dyess has one too (marked as Lt. Col. Dyess' aircraft in the Philippines.

If I missed it in the other posts, I apologize...the very first image is of a T-38, not a T-33.

Thanks, all most interesting.

Took a wrong turn off the autobahn and was surprised to find this outside Memmingen airport, in southern Germany.
