Unidentified Air Frames

Posted by Mike Henniger on Mon Sep 22, 2003 08:08:57 AM

I know many of you enjoy a challenge and the thrill of the s/n hunt! In addition I could use some help with identifying some airframes where their true identities have been a mystery to me for a while now. With the magic of webshots and the power of the WIX I was hoping that some true IDs could be conjured up.

The airframes I am trying to ID are the following...
-> the Lockheed Super Connie that once resided outside the Regal Constellation Hotel
-> a Grumman F9F Panther that was spotted at the Valiant Air Command in 1998
-> a Hawker Hunter that appeared at the Wings Over Houston Air Show in 2000
-> a Hughes AH-6 at the Airborne and Speical Ops Museum in North Carolina (a real long shot for this one)
-> one of the Lodestars parked outside the Planes of Fame in Chino
-> A P-80/T-33 stored in pieces at the Grissom Air Park in 1996
-> the F-14 that performed fly-bys at the Wings of Eagle Air Show in 1996
-> a P-80/T-33 fuselage stored outside of the Valiant Air Command Museum in 1998

You can view pictures of these airframes at...

Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
