Muir AAF
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA
1 October 2007
After leaving Irwin I made the long haul to the Capital City Airport in Harrisburg. I found the Defense Supply Center there
but the aircraft are not accessible to the public. From there is was on to the ANG at the Harrisburg International Airport.
I saw the P-51 there, but it too is not accessible to the public. I then moved on to Muir AAF north of Harrisburg and
struck gold. I found the F-102 displayed there, along with a newly displayed C-130, UH-1, AH-1 and H-6. I took a
number of pictures. It was then back on the road homeward bound. I arrived back in Ottawa around 10:30 PM.

Irwin, Pennsylvania, USA
1 October 2007
I then left New Kensington in the north east side of Pittsburgh to Irwin in the south east side. When I was there I found
the local VFW with their displayed T-33. I took a few pictures of the T-33 and the other memorials displayed there.

Memorial Park
New Kensington, Pennsylvania, USA
1 October 2007
After getting my pictures at the VFW I returned to the park that I passed while on my way there. I managed to find the
entrance to the park and my way through the park to the displayed T-33. The lighting was excellent so I was able to take
a number of walk around pictures. You will see in the pictures this is one T-33 that needs some TLC. Unfortunately it will
take more than a new coat of paint.

New Kensington, Pennsylvania, USA
1 October 2007
I left Zanesville and returned to the airport at Cadiz. I was not able to find a T-33 that was supposed to be displayed
there, so I continued onto New Kensington on the north east side of Pittsburgh. I was looking for a T-33 that was
supposed to be displayed at a Legion there, but I could not find it in the town. I then continued onto the VFW outside of
town and then noticed the T-33 in a park along the way. When I got to the VFW I photographed the UH-1 they have
displayed there.

Zanesville Municipal Airport
Zanesville, Ohio, USA
1 October 2007
After staying in Columbus one more night, I left early Monday morning for home, but with a few stops planned along the
way. I was leaving early of course, well before the sunrise and my first stop was at the truck stop near Newark where I
ate breakfast the Friday morning, and then continued east with a stop in Zanesville. My goal was to find an AH-1 at a
VVA. I found the VVA, and another veteran’s facility, but I did not find the AH-1 at either location. I continued on to
the airport and easily found the F-105 displayed in front in the terminal. Fortunately the sun was beginning to rises and I
was able to take a number of walk-around shots.

Historical Aircraft Squadron
Lancaster, Ohio, USA
30 September 2007
From the VVA traveled west along the secondary roads to Lancaster. Just north-west of Lancaster is a small airport
which is home to the Historical Aircraft Squadron. I arrived as the sun was setting (that has been happening often lately).
The museum of course was closed, but a number of the aircraft are outside so I took my pictures as quickly as I could.
By the time I left and was back on the road to my hotel the sun had set.

Circleville, Ohio, USA
30 September 2007
After the show was over on Sunday I left and instead of heading north back to my hotel, I turned south to go to Circleville.
I was looking for the local AMVETS. I found it east of the town with an F-105 display. The late afternoon sun was
lighting up the F-105 well so I was able to get a number of pictures.

94th Aero Squadron Restaurant
Columbus, Ohio, USA
29 September 2007
Even though the sunset was getting to be quite advanced, I decided to try and find the P-51 displayed at the airport in
the north half of Columbus. I found it on the east side of the airport at a 94th Aero Squadron restaurant. It turned out to
be a fiberglass replica (no surprise), and is likely one of the many replicas that David Tallichet had made for his restaurants.
Even thought it was really too dark at this point, I tried to get a few pictures anyway by using fence posts and the ground to
steady the camera. The shots turned out better than I expected.

MOTTS Military Museum
Columbus, Ohio, USA
29 September 2007
After the show on Saturday I only had to travel a short distance north from Rickenbacker field to find the MOTTS
Military Museum. It was after their open hours of course, but I was able to get a few pictures of the helos and the
A-7 over the fence.

Newark Heath Airport
Newark, Ohio, USA
28 September 2007
After leaving the VVA, I retraced by steps back to the south side of to Newark to look for the F-4 at the airport. I did
find it, and it was displayed between two hangars. It was only visible from outside a fence. The sun had started to rise,
so I managed to get a decent shot of it by holding my camera up over the fence. From that point I headed off to
Columbus to attend the air show, the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends.

Newark, Ohio, USA
28 September 2007
On the Friday morning I left my hotel early. I found a decent place to eat breakfast, then I was off to find a F-4 and
UH-1 in two different locations in Newark. I choose to look for the UH-1 first since the sun had not quite risen yet, and
it would take me a few minutes to get there as it is on the north side of town and I was approaching from the south. I
found the UH-1 at the VVA and managed to get a few shows with one decent picture even though the sun had not yet
risen.

Friendship Park
Smithfield, Ohio, USA
27 September 2007
After leaving the VFW in Imperial, I only had to go a short distance to get onto route 22. I then traveled west, eventually
leaving Pennsylvania and crossing a narrow section of West Virginia to get to Ohio. Once in Ohio I turned south along
route 7 to the road west that takes one into Smithfield. I was quickly loosing the light with a very nice sunset in progress.
I had to stop for gas, but after filling up I quickly made my way to the local airport with a race track nearby. There is a
war memorial on the grounds of the track which includes an F-89 and O-2. I managed to get a few pictures even though
the light was quickly disappearing. I didn’t figure on being able to make it to this site in time, so it was a bonus and
another good reason for not sticking around Sackets Harbor earlier in the morning for the sun to rise. Even though the
light was lost I headed over to Cadiz to try and find a T-33 at the local airport. The gate was closed so I would need
to visit on the return trip. At that point I was tired and didn’t want to scout out any more sites so I just continued my
trip west along I-70 to get to my hotel near Newark.

Imperial, Pennsylvania, USA
27 September 2007
The next leg of my trip was also a short one. I only had to travel a few miles south on some streets to Imperial. I found the
local VFW with a F-86 displayed outside quite easily and snapped a few shots. This one could use a new coat of paint,
but other than that it looked to be in good condition.

Pennsylvania ANG
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
27 September 2007
From Beaver Falls it was then south along route 60 to the Pittsburgh Airport and the ANG base. I found the base on the
south side of the airport with the F-102 displayed outside of the gate. I parked my car close to road along side of the
driveway into the base. When I got out of the car with my camera I motioned to the guards at the nearby gate that I
wanted to take pictures of the F-102. A guard came out to meet me and told me in no uncertain terms that I was not to
take pictures that included the gate or check point. Note to all, when taking pictures near a military facility, even from
public vantage points, it is wise to communicate your intentions to the military personnel that may be nearby. I was also
able to get a shot of a C-135 vertical fin on the other side of the driveway. When I was done I waved to the guards, they
waved back and I was on my way.

Beaver County Airport
Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA
27 September 2007
The next leg of my trip was a short one. I left Air Heritage and continued along the airport access road to the terminal.
I was looking for the F-86 and found it. There was also a bonus of three Fouga Magisters parked on the ramp behind it!
I snapped a few pictures of course.

Air Heritage
Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA
27 September 2007
After striking out in Corry, I traveled secondary roads south west to I-79, south on I-79 for a while, then as I was
approaching Pittsburgh I got off the highway and traveled west into Beaver Falls. I was actually looking for an AH-1 at
a VFW in New Galilee, but I didn’t have good maps and almost got lost. I found myself in Beaver Falls first, so I gave
up on the AH-1 and went looking for the F-86 at the Beaver Falls airport. Before I saw the Sabre I came across Air
Heritage and was pleasantly surprised to see they were still open. My schedule didn’t have me getting there until after
closing (I am glad I didn’t wait around in Sackets Harbor for the sun to come up), so I took advantage of the few minutes
I had to take some pictures. They were in the process or closing the hangar doors so the results are not great.

Erie County Memorial Gardens Inc.
Erie, Pennsylvania, USA
27 September 2007
After leaving Hamburg it was back to I-90 to continue my journey south-west. When I got to Erie I got off at the exit
east of where the F-94 was. I did not have a confirmed location, so it took at bit of time to find the entrance to the
cemetery in which it is displayed. I did find it, and was careful to be respectful of the graves while taking some photos of
the displayed Starfire. After leaving Hamburg I traveled to Corry to look for a F-86. Two locals confirmed there was no
F-86 in Corry, but the F-94 in Erie had been displayed in Corry previously.

Hamburg, New York, USA
27 September 2007
Hamburg was the next stop on my trip. I had actually intended to visit Eden first, but missed an exit off I-90. After
leaving Eden I traveled north along route 62 and I found the A-4 and AH-1 outside of Hamburg on the North West side
at the local VFW. The two are prominently displayed out front along with a tank so the display can’t be missed. It is
interesting how a number of stickers have been applied to the A-4. I don’t know what that is about.

American Legion Post 880
Eden, New York, USA
27 September 2007
I left Sackets harbor and found my way to I-80. I then went south on I-80 to Syracuse. From
there I travelled west on I-90 to Buffalo where I continued on I-90 but in a south-west direction
towards Eden. In Eden I located the park maintained by the local Legion post with the AH-1
displayed. It was much later in the morning by this point, but due to the heavy overcast it
was still a small challenge taking pictures. I did manage to take a series of walk-around
photos.

Alexander Corners Veterans Memorial
Henderson, New York, USA
27 September 2007
After leaving the Legion in Sackets Harbor, I turned south to Henderson to look for the AH-1
at a memorial there. Unfortunately Henderson isn’t far from Sackets Harbor, and I arrived at
the memorial before the sun rose there as well. Using a park bench to steady the camera I
was able to get a slightly better picture, but the result was still poor. Again I would
suggest you not bother clicking the link to the album as there is only one photo there.

27 September 2007
I left my home in Ottawa at 4 AM to start my road trip to Columbus, Ohio, for the Gathering
of Mustangs and Legends air show. My first stop was the Legion in Sackets Harbor, New York.
Unfortunately due to bad planning and a heavily overcast sky I arrived at the Legion before
the sun had risen. I wasn’t willing to wait for the sun to come up (a decision I was happy
I made later in the day), so I just pointed the car at the AH-1 and turned on the high beams
and took this rather poor picture. There is just the one shot in the photo album, so don’t
bother clicking to see any more.

of the displayed aircraft. Fortunately the MP was understanding.

1 September 2007
This was the fourth Open House of the season held by Vintage Wings of Canada. Although not an airshow, it
is a day where visitors can view the hangar and aircraft. The pilots were able to build their time in
the aircraft with practice flights and there were visiting aircraft. The theme was fighters so the
Mustang and Spitfire were prominently featured.

find the compound with the CF-116 open and accessible to visitors. I got a few
close-up shots this time instead of shots from a distance over the fence.

15 August 2007
I left Saint Jean and headed north to Montreal to find a CF-100 at CFB Saint Hubert.
I found it and snapped a few photos. Apparently this CF-100 is the last one to fly,
making it an extra special airframe. Once I got my photos I checked my maps and
planned a route back to Ottawa. I arrived back home at 9:30 PM.

secondary crossing then it wasn't far to Knowlton home to the Brome County Museum which is home
to a rare original Fokker D.VII. Naturally I snapped a few photos and talked to the staff.
Apparently this Fokker is still covered by it's orignal canvas and paint!

out front within view of the road. Of course I stopped to take a picture or two.

15 August 2007
When I left Burlington I headed south-east to the village of Middlesex. Just outside of the village
is the motel Camp Meade. This establishment features a F-86 in the court yard surrounded by the
cabins of the motel. Not far away, and not really displayed, but rather stored was an AT-11. This
place is worth stopping for if on the way by, and looks like a decent place to say if you need a
room for the night.

I went on another one day road trip this day, leaving Ottawa at 6:30 AM. My first stop was

Petawawa, Ontario, Canada
13 August 2007
I took the week off from work. Catherine was busy, so this day was a perfect day for a mini road trip. I had
not visited CFB Petawawa before. I knew there was a CH-136 and C-47 displayed at this Canadian Forces Base,
but what I didn't know was there were a number of tanks, trunks and artilery displayed as well. Although a
little off-topic (non-aviation), they were a pleasant surprise!

Trenton, Ontario, Canada
9 July 2007
Just a short distance away from the CT-133 is the RCAF Memorial Museum. I heard
the CF-100 from the grounds of CFB Trenton had been moved to the museum, so I
stopped by for a few pictures. It was raining lightly and there was much lightning
in the area. I figured it was not a good idea to be standing in the open beside
aluminum aircraft in those conditions, so I snapped a few quick pictures and left
quickly.

Markham, Ontario, Canada
9 July 2007
I continued by trip east out of Toronto, but did not go far when I stopped at the

After leaving Sterling Heights I headed straight for Belleville and the Yankee Air Force Museum's

5 July 2007
Another short hop, this time to the west placed me at the Niagara Falls airport, home to the ANG. Although
not accessible to the public, a few of the airframes can be viewed from public areas, although not well. I
photographed what I could. Since it was now after 7 PM, representing 12 hours of warbird hunting, I called
it quits for the day and crossed the border back into Ontario where I overnighted.

Tonawanda, New York, U.S.A.
5 July 2007
I stopped for dinner, at a rest stop along the I-90, then continued my trip by traveling to Buffalo. It was
in the suburb of Tonawanda that I managed to find a baseball/soccer field with a F9F on display. This one
appears to have been maintained over the years with liberal coats of paint, but is obviously used as a
piece of playground equipment which is no surprise as there is a play structure nearby. Not the best
example of the F9F I have seen, but at least it is preserved.

I then returned to the I-90 for a short distance, getting off to visit the airport at Batavia. I had no
luck finding the new organization Genesee Warbirds so I turned north to albion to look for the Vintage

time photographing their T-33 and ran back to the car as a heavy rain started to fall.

After leaving Shortsville I traveled west on the I-90 for a short distance then north into Rochester to find

5 July 2007
After leaving Oriskany I traveled to Syracuse to try to view the aircraft at the ANG. Unfortunately
they are not accessible to the public, so I continued west along I-90 to Shortsville where I found the
F-86 at the legion there. It is painted in an odd light blue colour which I thought was strange until
I noticed the nearby water tower was painted the same colour. Hmmmmm...... It was raining quite
heavily at the time, so I just snapped a few photos from inside the car.

5 July 2007
After leaving Parish I traveled a short distance south to Central Square. I heard an F-86 was displayed
in the area, but could not find it using Google Earth. The reason it may have been difficult to find is that
it is parked under a large tree. The airframe appeared to be in good shape except for some damage to part of the
wind screen.

Gatineau Airport
Gatineau, Québec, Canada
27 March 2007
Sometime something interesting shows up at Gatineau, sometimes it is just someone going out
for a ride. That was the case when I just happened to be in the right place at the right time
to photograph this nice nice Aeronca Champ.

Department of National Defence - Shirley's Bay
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
13 January 2007
During a meeting of aviation enthusiasts I learned of two warbirds recently placed on display in the Ottawa area
and they were practically in my back yard! For the previous few months the weather had been unusually warm, so
there was no snow on the ground. I consider these good conditions to go warbird hunting so I went on my first
January warbird hunt, and my first hunt in 2007.
