F/A-18 for sale in Kansas
First, I normally reside in rec.av.mil. Hopefully I'm not violating the
group charter by asking my question here. Several months ago someone offered an F/A-18 fuselage for sale on Ebay. If I recall correctly it was in Olathe KS. A hard drive crash lost the seller's name from my bookmarks. Does anyone in this forum remember anything about the posting or perhaps know where the aircraft is located? Thanks in advance MAH |

Several months ago someone offered an F/A-18 fuselage for sale on Ebay.
If I recall correctly it was in Olathe KS. A hard drive crash lost the seller's name from my bookmarks. Does anyone in this forum remember anything about the posting or perhaps know where the aircraft is located? If I'm putting things together correctly, I think this was Air Capital Warbirds out of Wichita. They had rented a hangar here at Newton (EWK) and the FA/18 fuselage was stored out on it's ramp for quite some time. I believe they left here a few months ago, at least the stuff stored outside is gone now. Never was anybody around. They used to have a website, but now it connects to a new one "airwarbirds.com" and it is noted as under construction. They may have relocated out of this area, i.e the change in name. You might try contacting the Newton airport manager for more info. JP Krievins |

Thanks for the pointers. I think this is the aircraft I'm remembering.
I'll be going to Kansas City on business soon and was hoping to get a look. Don't have enough time in the schedule to get down to Wichita. Probably just go to Olathe and look at the A-7's and A-4 down at old NAS Olathe. MAH |
