Thank you!
First one looks like a part of an Apache, wierd seeing that in a bone
yard!
Second is a red Cessna, O-2? Looks like the Civil aviation version.
Third is a real oldie, looks like potential museum material.
Were four and five a part from the front of an F-5 Tiger?
Nice pictures! Thank you! Must be an interesting place to visit.
Dittos on the Apache.
Looks like you nailed it on the Cessna O-2 (Skymaster). I never heard
of it, nor did I know they made a push/pull plane.
Now that you mention it, that could be a F-5 or a T-38. Googling
around, there was a movie star named Don Taylor that was in the Army
Air Force.
I have one more plane to add from the boneyard. I'll add a followup
post. I also took some photos at Victorville, which also has a
boneyard. Nothing particularly interesting though.
