Hughes UH-1H "Iriquois" (Huey)
Veterans Memorial Park, Tampa, FL

The Hughes UH-1H "Iriquois" (Huey) is one of several similar models used in the Vietnam War. It was primarily used for troop movements, medical evacuations, and aerial weapons platforms (gunships). This display was found in Veterans Memorial Park on U.S.301 near Tampa, Florida.

Found this in front of the Delaware Air National Guard Center in Bethany Beach, DE.

TFTR!!!

This wicked Tomcat fighter jet is located outside Point Mugu Naval Air Station, CA. Flown in many missions over the first Gulf War, and many other conflicts, this is one formidable bird to be sure...

Pictures will follow when I return to work on Monday, as the home computer doesn't want to recognize the mini disc from the camera (the work one will, however).

These airplanes are part of a static display near Sawyer International Airport which is located between Marquette and Gwinn in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
K. I. Sawyer was an air force base which closed in 1995, soon afterward the Marquette County Airport relocated to this area.

this is a p-51d on display at the "wings of history" air museum in san martin, CA here is a link: http://www.wingsofhistory.org/

Found this A10A Thunderbolt II where we are currently posted. Nice Joint Military Park. TFTC Rock-6

This is a Lockheed T-33 which used to reside at Reese AFB in Lubbock, TX. Reese is now closed, but before it's final demise, the AFB donated the display aircraft to various places around the city. I don't know where the T-37 went, but the T-38 went to the Science Spectrum. Here is the T-33. I have a special attachment to this one as I currently work for Lockheed Martin. Pictures forthcoming.

...pictures posted.

Found this F-16 at the home of the 188th Tactical Fighter Group "The Flying Razorbacks" in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. The area around this jet is now fenced off, because of 9/11. You can still visit, but you have to make arrangements.

I have included a pic of a the tail of this warbird of the Razorback on it. It is rough, tough and mean just like the F-16 itself.

Thanks for this cache and my hats off to all who have served and especially those who are serving now in Iraq keeping our home skies friendly.

Found in Arcade New York.

Fount this bird at a local playground. Every boys dream of a playground. I do not know the type. Placed at Aalborg, Denmark.

Nice cache #100

This T-33 is located in front of Memorial Stadium on Dallas Avenue in Selma, Alabama.

Selma was home to Craig Air Force Base, an important training airfield associated with the 29th Flying Training Wing who were based at Craig from 1940 to 1977, when the base closed.

According to the plaque on the base of the monument, this particular T-33, Number 51-707, was put into pilot training service by Craig AFB in 1955. This is the flying-est T-33, having been flown over 7203 hours, covering over 2-1/2 million miles. The aircraft was presented to the City of Selma by Craig AFB March 4, 1964.

Lots of warbirds here!

There are several of these on display at the National Guard base in Cheyenne, WY. We were driving by and had to snap a couple quick pictures - the traffic didn't help either!

This is a plane found at the Air Museum of the local airforce base.

This is in front of the memorial coliseum in Ft Wayne, IN.

Sanne & Kiki

I saw this at the VFW in Herrin Il. I am glad we have such firepower on our side. I bet this one could really light up the night sky.

This warbird is a V1.
I found the warbird at "Tøjhusmuseet" (The Royal Danish Arsenal Museum) in Copenhagen.

Beautiful warplane near of my house

This is an old f101-b and was probably one of the best planes made. The day was sunny but cold out and these pictures were taken in late afternoon. The plane is in Veterans Park in Rock Springs, Wyoming I forgot to take a picture with my GPS but hope this will do.

Found this plave outside th Caernarfon Air Museum at caernorfon Airport in NorthWales. I think it may be a Hunter.

Logging before Locationless are moved. This plane is located at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Saskatoon, Sask, Canada. The plaque at its base proclaims it to be a T-33 "Silverstar" #21630. One of the best "trainers" in aviation. This one was flown by the "Red Knight" solo performer of aerobatics at air shows of the 60s.
It now stands in tribute of those who sacrificed their lives in the military.

Veterans Memorial Park is located on highway 87 in Port Arthur, Texas. The jet in the picture is a 14 ton Phanton, as you can see it was blown off its pedestal by hurricane Rita. Donations are welcome to help pay for repairs to the park.You can send donations to P O Box 83 Por Neches, Texas 77651.

Two warbirds here, the bigger one is F-100A, the small one is PL-1. Found them in National Chung Hsing University http://www.nchu.edu.tw/e-index/index_english.htm in TaiChung City, Taiwan, R.O.C.

We spotted this fighter plane on display at the Chan Gurney Airport in Yankton, So. Dak. when we were home for the Thanksgiving holiday. We decided it was a T-38 Talon.

Thanks,

Liberty, Mo.

This old F4 Phantom is awesome!

Found this Canadair F-104 Starfighter near Hamar city in Norway. No longer operativ(i think)! It's stand in a privat backyard,together with old cars!

This aircraft is located in Memorial Park (formerly part of Young's Park) in Dickinson, ND. This aircraft has been part of my childhood for as long as I can remember. When I was a child I used to try to think of ways that I could climb inside the plane and fly it.

I was not able to determine the exact type of aircraft this is. As of 2004, the park officials put the brick memorial plaque around the aircraft in memory of all veterans of war.

We found it in Sinsheim, Germany.

Neanderwolf und die Meute

Found this warbird on display near the front entrance of Camp Mackall near Ft Bragg, NC. TFTC

Found this F4C Phantom at a VFW on the north side of Houston

Found this retired warbird at the Bert Mooney Airport in Butte. lakeman&tagalong

This is an F-15 Fighter on permanent display at Tyndall AFB, Florida.

These are some of the retired war veicles at Freedom Hill Park in MI

Revisited a museum right next to work that we have enjoyed on several occasions. This is the X32B, I am not sure, but this may be one of a very few places to view the Boeing version of the JSF since it was not the selected design. It is very odd looking and different from the variant which was approved. Enjoyed a little aviation history!

TFTC!!

The SoMDCacherz #261

i found that Fouga nearby the Griesheim airfield. The airfield is closed since 5 jears.

This warbird is located at VFW post 7293 Egypt, PA. I didn't think I would be able to log this as a find because there is a cache nearby. But I took the pictures anyway. I looked when I got home and nobody has logged it. It's a F-14 Tomcat. Lt. Hay Hildebrandt "Cheese" and CMDR. Dave Asjes "Charmin" names are on the plane. It's home before this was at a Top Gun School in Nevada.

This old warbird is located at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, adjacent to the Hamilton International Airport.

This one is in front of a Memorial Colosium in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

ToastyMallows

This is a retired warbird on the NAS Oceana in VA Beach, VA. I think its a F-16. No GPS in the picture, it just wouldn't work from the distance I had to take the pic from. This is as close as Uncle Sam would let us get.

This is an airplane that is on display just outside the Utah National Guard Headquarters building in Draper, Utah.

CF-100 Canuk - Nanton, Alberta

Found at the Nanton Air Museum while travelling to Cranbrook with Smrt_geer and XRN95.

This plane is on the roof of the Canadian Legion #5 building in Vernon, B.C., Canada. The numbers are those of Legion member Bodarchuck, on his Spitfire.

This Plane was found in a Military Park owned by the city of Weirton , Weat Viginia USA . It is found nestled between Route 2 and Route 22 and Military Drive. It is a F8U-2N Crusader Jet, all weather, single seat fighter plane. It was armed with four 20MM cannons and carried rockets and bombs. The Military Park has a M48 tank,a Huey Bell Heliocopter and several cannons and howitzers all of the Viet Nam era, It is a well kept Park. As a Viet Nam Vet, I am proud to see these military edifaces displayed for all to see and learn from. It was comforting to see them in the air supporting us. Lest we forget.TFTC Team Nightowls01 Gypsy and Moles

We found this old aircraft in Germany on the island of Usedom. It is located on th old rocket base in Peenemuende. Today this area is used as a small airport.

At this location Wernher von Braun built the first rockets of the world, the V1 and V2, for the Nazis during WW2. Later on Wernher von Braun was captured by the Americans and brought to The US. There he than worked for the NASA.

Found this Huey at Camp W. G. Williams Army National Guard Training Facility - Bluffdale, Utah.

This CT-133 is on display at the Royal Canadian Legion branch 108 in Leduc, Alberta and is just down the road from the Edmonton International Airport. The Silver Stars or T-Birds had a long career with the RCAF and CF as trainers, Electronic Warfare training support, target towing, fleet support, limited aggressor support and general utility. The last one was withdrawn from service on March 31, 2005.

This one is at 5 Wing Goose Bay,Labrador,Canada

We found the spitfire near the airport from Edinburgh.

This is near of St-Hubert Airport at Province of Québec, Canada.

The X-35 the winner of the x-planes contest between Boeing and Lockheed Martin to build the new JSF(Joint Strike Fighter). This is now on display at Naval Air Station Patuxent River aka KNHK for you avation types. As an Air Traffic Controller here with the navy I was involved with the testing of this aircraft and it is great that is is now on display. I took a picture of the sign at the display hopefully you will be able to read it. TFTC!!!

10:45 a.m. #443
Found this F-106B enshrined at KellyUSA in San Antonio (formerly Kelly AFB). The F-106 was the first aircraft to achieve sustained flight in excess of Mach 2 speeds. Its advanced electronics pioneered the way in computer controlled flight and armament launch.

This Republic RF-84F Thunderflash is located at Kjevik Airport outside Kristiansand in southern Norway (ICAO: ENCN, IATA: KRS). In it's time this aircraft was a top modern photo reconnaissance aircraft and was based at 717 Sqdn at Sola Airport outside Stavanger. The last time it flew was from Rygge to Kjevik on November 28 1969. Norway used the type until 1970.

For pictures and stories from Kjevik, please visit www.kjevik.dk (in norwegian only, but many nice pictures).

This plane is outside 202 Engineering Installation Squadron Air National Guards building next to the Macon Airport in Macon, GA

The WWII SNJ was a NAVY fighter and trainer. This one is a working model which is visiting Albuquerque, New Mexico, taking people on joy rides out of the Double Eagle II airport west of the Albuquerque volcanoes. The last action this plane saw was in the recent movie "Pearl Harbor".

Vultee BT-13/15 "Valiant" located at the entrance to Gunter AFB in Montgomery, Alabama, USA. I think this can be considered a warfighter since it was used to train fighter pilots. The Valiant was the basic trainer used by the US Army Air Force during World War II. It represented the second of three stages of pilot training.

I found that war bird on display at the Hofburg in Vienna, Austria. During daytime children are allowed to sit in the cockpit. During the night time the place is pretty much deserted which gave me the chance to get close-up pictures.

The Airplanes from my picture are a MiG-23 and a FIAT G 91.

Found these two retired war birds in ... you guessed it ... "War Bird Park" ... near the Myrtle Beach Airport in Mytrle Beach, SC.

This here's a T-37 "tweet" on a stick outside of the main gate of Columbus AFB, MS. The city of Columbus put up a great sign and fountain to display the venerable jet that has been used to train tens of thousands of USAF pilots.

These are on display at Queen Elizabeth II Park in Windsor Ontario. Origianlly there was a Lancaster Bomber on display however this was removed to get refurbished. I believe these are a Spitfire XI and a Hawker Hurricane.

this big group of old warbirds is on display at the Airpark near England Air Force Base in Alexandria, Louisiana. They even have dummy pilots.

Spotted this Phantom in front of the Hinsdale, NY American Legion Post. Looks like this plane could use some TLC.

This is a UH-1 "Huey," helicopter, on display at the entrance to the Rogers Municipal Airport in Rogers, Arkansas. I found this one while unsuccessfully looking for a micro hidden in the area. This display is part of a Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Thanks for the cache! ~ozarksjim - Nixa MO

This fine example of the A1-E Skyraider is on display at the McClellan Field historic aircraft exhibit along with many others. The Skyraider was a real workhorse and served during the 50s and 60s as a platform for many different missions. I saw a few of these planes during my stint in the USMC.

This plane is part of a memorial to the military members of the Panama City community. It is located on the Gulf Coast Community College Campus. TFTC.

Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star at American Legion Apache post 27. Cant help but wonder how a relatively small American Legion located in a small town managed to snag a plane like this outside their post.

Found this at a park in Rock Springs, Wyoming.Just off exit #107 on I-80. Alot of birds are now calling it home.

This drone is located in a park along west Bellview Ave in Englewood Colorado. There is no information on the pedastle, so I can't give any more information.

This old plane is currently undergoing restoration at KVBS -- Skagit Regional Airport, Mount Vernon, Washington.

The warbird that our team located is in a local park, Germain Park in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. It is a F-86A CL-13 Canadair Sabre from the Golden Hawk Air Demonstration Team. It is a WWII memorial dedicated by the local 403 Wing Association. This is interesting given that the plane is a Korean War era jet.

In 1949, with the formation of NATO the Canadian government made the decision to re-equip the RCAF's front-line fighter squadrons with modern aircraft and the F-86 Sabre was type selected. Consequently, an agreement was reached between North American and Canadair Limited of Montreal to manufacture 100 F-86As in Canada.

More information can be found at: http://www.rcaf.com/aircraft/fighters/sabre/index.php?name=Canadair%20Sabre

This is located right next door to two planes, a Tomahawk and a Fiat, that have already been logged. This one, however, was still up for grabs. This is a A-6E Grumman Intruder, and was used during Korea. The specs:

Wingspan: 53 feet
Length: 54.9 feet
2 Pratt and Whitney J52-p-8a engines with 9300 lbs of thrust each.

A crew of two would fly top speed of 644 mph, or cruise at 474 mph. It has a 1010 mile range, a 42,400 fott ceiling and a 18,000 payload.

Thanks for this fun and educational cache.

This is a picture of a Lockheed p2h neptune anti submarine and reconnaissance of the Royal Netherlands navy retired in 1982. It can be found on display at RAF Cosford Aerospace museum Shropshire UK.

Located this Huey on the way to a cache. It sits in front of the local VFW in Newton NC.

The picture was made in front of the 'Flieger-Flab-Museum' in Dübendorf, near Zurich, Switzerland.
The picture was taken at 4:40 pm CEST.
The image shows a 'Vampire DH-100', which was used by the Swiss Air-Force from 1949 until 1990, as far as I know.

More information about this museum is available at
