, N75 , 2012-04-07

Former owner of Twin Pine, William Weasner, had hopes of restoring his 1968 Champion. Like the airport, the project was abandoned.

Since I visited this bird at this location 5 years ago, she has not fared too well....

Special thanks to Tony for pointing this gem out to me!

N57123 Douglas DC-3, c/n 16422/33170

, Wittman Regional Airport , 2010-09-24

A long-time resident resident of Mesa Falcon Field, this unmarked Skytrain now rests at the Basler Turbo Conversions compound at Oshkosh. I cannot tell whether the airframe is a parts ship or an actual candidate for conversion.

N100BF Douglas C-117D, c/n 50796

, Wittman Regional Airport , 2010-09-24

This ex-US Marines transport has been stored at the Basler Turbo Conversions apron for nearly a decade, so it is uncertain whether it will fly. Then, again, the folks at Basler can and do perform miracles.

N3641X Aero Commander 100-180 Lark Commander, c/n 5074

, South Jersey Regional Airport , 2012-01-07

Lurking in the weeds in the backlot of South Jersey Regional Airport, this Aero Commander won't bee taking off anytime soon.

, South Jersey Regional Airport , 2012-01-07

Hiding in the weeds in the backlot of South Jersey Regional Airport was this 1946 Aeronca, which won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

This poor aircraft, a former Northwest bird, has been grounded since being struck by a fuel truck in 2005. She is now for fire training.

, LECU , 2010-12-28

This is all that remained of the Cant Z 506 piloted by Coronel Franco, chief of the seaplane base at Pollensa, Mallorca, Spain. The famed aviator perished on his 51st mission.

N939MA 1980 Short SD3-30, c/n SH3047

, General Mitchell International Airport , 2010-09-26

The future does not look too bright for this poor Shorts 330, as she stares into oblivion.

N333MV Short SD3-30, c/n SH3049

, General Mitchell International Airport , 2010-09-26

Though in better condition than her stored stablemates, it is questionable whether this aircraft will fly again.
