| Ernie Jones Colorado Springs, CO | Just a note for displays of the P-2's. At the aircraft museum at the Pueblo airport is a great static display.

| Matt Morris San Diego, CA | I just noticed the picture of the P-2 Neptune that was taken on display at MCBH Kanehoe. I personally helped restore this aircraft that was originally display at NAS Barbers Pt. We removed the wings, jet engines and did structure work, before towing it to West Loch and transporting it to Kanehoe via a barge. What a joy!! All the credit goes to Mike Dean who led a team of motivated sailors in refurbishing this vintage aircraft. 12/04/2002 @ 11:24 [ref: 6188] |
