Eyecatching idea for Jay

It looks like I didn't get any hits on the Florida bar with the Beech
Musketeer sticking out of it, so I imagine it must not be there
anymore.

I scanned my old pic and put it on my website. I think this would
really stand out on a hotel located next to an airport :-)

There used to be more things like this around. A few years ago I saw
an upended DC-3 in central Florida - advertising Kermit Weeks'
museum.

There was a B-24 supported by columns hovering over a gas station
somewhere in the Pacific Northwest for many many years. I saw an
article about it finally being removed a couple of years ago.

I also used to see an upended BT-13 on top of a gas atation on the
outskirts of Fresno, CA until a few years ago. Gone too!

Wow! that must be an old picture.
The pictures that I have of the same plane are nowhere near as new looking
as the plane in your picture.
See this link for 5 more picture of the same plane taken on 03DEC04.

Those old airframes are too valuable to be left up on a pole....

Jay, I think this will give you a good idea of what your Cessna-onna-stick will
look like in a few years. :-(

He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an
adequate understanding of truth and falsehood.

The timing must've been just right for those shots. There are all sorts of guy
wires in four of them, but the first shot doesn't have any on top. Guess they
were taken during the installation or removal of the wires?

Sorry about that.. There is one picture that I was editing out all the wires
to
make it look a little more realistic, so yes the wires were there when I
took
the picture. If you look real close at the brick lines, you'll see I didn't
really
do a good job of removing the wires.

Yep. I took my pic in August of '89. Looks like the bird aged quite
bit over those 15 yrs.

By the state of the supporting wires and braces, it looks like the
whole contraption was being disassembled when your pics were taken a
few months ago. By the looks of the missing and dangling control
surfaces, I'd guess that the airframe took quite a beating during the
hurricanes last summer.

No, I think homeland Security believes that they are a threat to
National Security and had them melted down
