Hi Nicolai, me again. Just seen the pics on chandler,great stuff. Hey have U ever been to Avra Valley airport? They have some propliners there also on the other side where the skydive place is. I used to live in Tucson and could not get into any yards. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Anyway I did get some pictures of the c-97 & c-133 that were recently scrapped, when I did live there.Well keep up the great work and maybe you'll get a book going.
