Almost a year ago now since I spent a sunny Sunday roaming around for some wrecks in Arizona. Here are some pics from Coolidge Municipal Airport.

Win Aviation have several ex US Army C-23s & ex Saudi Ministry of Petroleum Skyvans here:

Of interest? very much so dear fellow.
I love seeing the variety of old wrecks, museum and preserved frames as it reminds me of when some of the old classics were a common sight in the UK.
I'd love to see any pistons if you have some.
Thanks for sharing your super pics

Hi Simon

As the previous posters say, great to see those oldies

I can remember when a Skyvan was a fixture at most USAF displays

Thanks for posting
