I recently drove home from Washington DC to Dayton Ohio. I decided to
take the senic route. I came west on 68 to 7 in West Virginia and near the intersection of 7 and 250 ( town of black field maybe.. or Black burn? ,, black something...)there is an early jet of some kind (appears to be pretty much all there) up on a pole in front of a small (and back woodsy)auto wrecking yard. I drove right past, with my Digital camera in the seat behind me, without stopping to take pictures and now I'm kicking myself! I'm not sure of the type I know it was not a P-80 and I'm pretty sure it was not an F-86.. Had straight exhaust out the back and a Air-intake like an F-86... I'll go to the Airforce Museum on Monday to see if I can Identify the Plane .. Has anyone else ever seen this? Dr Bach |

This is it ! An f-84 I'd love to have the resources to do a
restoration on a piece like this! Like I said .. it looks Surprisingly Intact! but of course, it would not be pratical to restore after sitting out for anywhere from 10 - 30 years http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/resea...hter/f84tj.htm |

Resources even less. It's personal. Or it doesn't get done. Richard |

It's near the Intersection of 7 and 218 in the town of Blacksville on
the West Virginia / PA Border. and I think it is actually an F-86. |
