LarryH57 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The owner of the land in the USA has been holding on to many aircraft far too long, a bit like some previous MV owners with fields of vehicles in desperate need of care! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/05/war-plane-graveyard-photos_n_5453840.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cnetscape%7Cdl8%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D484609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Nice to see they still exist Sad to see that they wont sell to some museums to preserve them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon king Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Walter Soplata Collection has been known about for decades and a number of the aircraft have been released for restoration over the years - but that sadly doesn't necessarily then mean that they're saved for posterity http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5559097/ All power to him for saving relics at the time which others thought of as only being fit for scrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
