Did some research on the aircraft number that he flew that day. He flew 5 1/2 hours on that mission. The aircraft made it through the war, and was sent back to the states. CalFire In California, purchased several OV-10 To convert over to observation aircraft. It was waiting for restoration and a hanger. Hurricane Andrew hit. A piece of the hanger door was ripped from It’s attachment point. It ended up landing on Arnie‘s plane, severing, both tailbooms. After that, it was scrapped for spare parts. Thanks for having a look

Fantastic display. Definitely belongs in a museum - and what a great thing to know the guy who flew the plane.

Good GREIF Christopher ( bradley25mm)!! How I missed this one is beyond me. The details are just amazing on this thing and then you've got the fact that went to a museum. You've truly got a knack for modeling pal and your efforts are to be commended on this one. What a beauty this one is.  |

Thanks a lot fellas. It was an extremely fun build. I very much appreciate the feedback. The best part about the project is when Arnie saw it in person.

I highly recommend stopping in Bowling Green KY right off I-65 and checking out the Museum and the awesome models on display. www.aviationheritagepark.com |
