Any chance the Confederate Air Force home base in Harlingen has anything salvageable? 
Again, this has been great to read. |
Their like a Timex. Get a licking and keep on ticking. In '87 there were at least six of them sitting at McAllen airport in flyable condition. McAllen is next the Harlingen BTW.
As for the CAF, they moved to Midland-Odessa about this time frame IIRC. But most of the aircraft in the CAF was not located at Harlingen as it's privately owned and comes and goes for shows etc. B17, B24, B26, Mustangs, and god knows what all else they have in their fleet. All avgas consumers though.
And added cudos to Chico and gang for thier timeless work of excellence.
