T-33A s/n 51-6653 that was at the reform school in Woodburn, OR for 40 years was moved by the AFM to the Baker City, OR airport about 1 year ago.

Thanks Jack!

I have an entry for that one, but only an approximate location at the airport...
http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=4 ... =1&iwloc=A

The satellite images are very poor in that area, but you may be able to suggest a better position for the pointer.

BTW... I also included an entry for Woodburn to say there is no longer a T-33 there. I wouldn't want to go on a wild goose chase if it could be avoided.

Thanks!

Mike

P.S. The Oregon Locator...

Don't bother with google earth.
You can still see it in Woodburn a year later!

I nevery count on the images used in any mapping program to be up-to-date, but they do provide points of reference. For example, in the link I provided am I close? If not to get to the actual location should I move north, south, east or west? This is what I was getting at.

By pin pointing the actual loation it will save someone else the effort in trying to find it. That might sound to be a case of overkill, but sometimes because of building and terrain I have been close to a plane and never found it (only to realize later with a great degree of frustration I was close).

The F-86 at Troutdale is gone.
The Sturges brothers rid of the rest of their dad's a/c
quite a while ago. Along with the F-86 was a AT-11.

The T-33 is still in a hanger at the airport. They're building a pedistal at the enterance of the airport (wherever that is) to mount it on. The bird is really rough and they just basically scraped the paint and 40 years of cr*p of off it and painted it gray.

Thanks Jack. I have made a note of this and it will be in the next upload later today.
