DPD1 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 What's the story with Scooby? Looks like somebody can't decide if they should rip it apart or save it. Dave www.TheNorthSpin.com Dedicated to Aircraft Flight Test for the Aviation Enthusiast Link to post Share on other sites
dbusack Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 That aircraft is being restored by the OV-10 Bronco Association. I am certain Bill can shed more light on the status of the aircraft. Don Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks for the SH-60B walkaround. That will come in handy. Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like somebody can't decide if they should rip it apart or save it.Dave www.TheNorthSpin.com Dedicated to Aircraft Flight Test for the Aviation Enthusiast She is very much together. These shots span the time she first arrived in Texas until being back on her feet and completed. I thought some would appreciate the detail and help folks understand what a 1 to 1 scale QF-4S kit looks like. bill Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Pat the rear pit is there, just not much detail as there is not much to show. For her last duty the pit was stripped to allow a box of test equipment to be fitted. We were lucky to get a seat fitted before she shipped to us. Here is the link to the panel pic Rear Pit bill Link to post Share on other sites

I shot it at the last show before the F-4s were taken away, and it's just kind of a shame to see it torn up.

I shot it at the last show before the F-4s were taken away, and it's just kind of a shame to see it torn up.Dave http://www.thenorthspin.com Dedicated to Aircraft Flight Test for the Aviation Enthusiast She was disassembled to ship to texas. In that process lots of parts come off to facilitate the removal of the fuselage from the wings. In the transportation process we were lucky enough to have both loads hit bridges on the way. One tore 18" off of the vertical fin, the other from 18" to 2 1/2' off of the wing trailing edges. So instead of just getting a do it yourself, we also got a little BDR to go with it. It was no ones intention, just the way things worked out. It acutally gave "us" good experence that we will need for our upcoming RF-8G, and A-7B projects as one was damaged by a hurricane, the other has bridge damage from being moved to museum we are getting it from, not us this time, at least yet...............................

Pat If you look at this picture you will see the lack of gunsight, radar scope, the addition of the system status lights and NOLO plug. Also look down at the dog bone as there are a number of different switches there as well. Those are the quickie changes. bill Link to post Share on other sites
