| Barry Taylor Tampa, FL | Check your ceiling figure of 2,700 ft. I suspect it should be 27,000 ft. Appreciate all the aircraft data you have gathered and made available in such a user friendly format. 10/28/2006 @ 13:24 [ref: 14601] |
| Stephen Burton , MI | I grew up in Southern California. One of my favorite places to visit as a child was Grifith Park. There was an area there called 'Travel Town' with static displays of Steam locomotives and a few aircraft. I remember that at one time they had a P-40, a Grumman F9F Panther, a Cutlass (don't remember mfr)and a P2V Neptune. I have not been to the area
for over 15 years now, and I wonder at times if any of the aircraft still exist. I remember once sneaking into the P2V thru the bomb bay and going into the rear gunner position to play - that was before they put fences up in an attempt to keep out vandals. 07/12/2002 @ 15:22 [ref: 5296] |
| Ana Fuller Frankfort, IL | I was recently trying to find out information about the air craft carrier "bunker hill" to try to find information about the PnV- neptune, because my great grandfather was the mechanic of the aircraft. His name was Paul Reiley Foster. Can you please send me any information you find about him and his aircraft to me?
