Illinois Gate Guards

Danville:  Vermillion County Airport   F-86 August 2007


Kankakee:  American Legion Veterans Memorial  UH-1   September 2007


Milford:  Small Park JB-2 Buzz Bomb   September 2007   The JB-2 (Jet Bomb 2) was the US copy of the German V-1 reversed engineered from parts sent to Wright Field in July of 1944 from England.  1200 were produced by Republic that subcontracted the airframe work to Willys-Overland with the pulse engine being built by Ford.  This display itself has an interesting story as it was stolen, sold to the Commemorative Air Force, and then returned to Milford.  Photos were taken at severe dusk (it was really getting dark) by setting camera to ISO 800.


Rantoul:  Former Chanute AFB Airport Complex,  C-97G - 52-0898 at Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum, Minuteman Missile at former front Gate to AFB    August 2007
