W&R Quartzsite December 2015

[perry dirkx]

Passed Quartzsite on our way from Nellis to Yuma and made a quick stop at the landing strip to find the F9F Panther had disapeared from the yard. Still there were RU-8D 58-3086 near the Interstate; HUP-2 (130053) and AT-11 (41-27650) between the sheds and in a compound near the house dismanteled O-2A (67-21434)/N4070Q.

On the oposite side of the I10 near the Hwy95 exit, at Dome Rock Rd with an antiques car dealer were found:
- OH-13H (58-1510) radio call plate in cockpit reads 81510
- TH-13N (145852) again a radio call plate in the cockpit that reads 145852
- dismanteled U-3A with tail 0-82112 lying nearby but datablock hardly reads 57-...8

Anything known for the U-3? Would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Perry,

Thanks for the log.

Did you see the 2 preserved F-4's in Quartzsite as well?

Cheers,
Jan.

Hi Perry

We were there in October, and I read 0-75861 from a stencil on a wing.

Guess it has been messed about, but think mostly 58-2112.

Both F-4's were also noted, so still there.
