We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.
Thanks again for your patience,

Re: Planes of Fame the Early Years
I can't recall the make and model airplane that was used in the final moments of the original movie "The Flight of the Phoenix" after Paul Mantz was killed. There's two of them shown in the video. Were either one of them used in the movie? Thanks

Re: Planes of Fame the Early Years
Their O-47 was modified to finish the filming. It was later restored to all it's glory but was lost after a belly landing when it caught fire and burned out.
I remember being there in the early 70's ('74 I think) and the yard around the museum looked like a scrapyard, so many aircraft sitting outside, badly weathered and missing parts. It is amazing how far they have come.
At that time there were still a bunch of Catch-22 B-25's on the field and the Aero Sport hanger hosted Miss Candace, Miss Suzy Q, Stump Jumper among others.

When receiving negative comments on her choice of pink to paint the P-40, Parrish always maintained that it was a color very close to what the brown camo weathered to in the African desert.

The P-40 racer was rebuilt by Frank Sanders for Sue Parrish.
