Numbers of Aircraft and Where edit

It is obscenely difficult to determine just where these Noratlases snuck off to. I have ordered a copy of a certain Jane's book in the hopes that it will be able to clear up the mystery; for now I have put in a common set of numbers one sees floating around. The 208 N-2501s, 186 N-2501Ds, 6 N-2501ISs, and 6 N-2502Fs are the only numbers that I have not seen conflicting numbers on. -- Saaber 14:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Aircraft on display/Survivors sections edit

These sections are missing, there appears to be at least one still flying (or it was in 2009!). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:21, 31 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
