[cactuswings 1833] LOG: Buckeye Muni AZ 14Apr2012

My first visit to this rarely reported airfield which lies 20miles further west from Goodyear airport along I-10 at
3000 S Palo Verde Road, Buckeye, AZ 85326.
A quiet place with nobody around when I visited, the apron had a few older 'spam cans' parked in the open together with the Citation jet. There were some rows of 'T' hangars but these were the other side of a security fence, as with most US airfields these days.
My reason for going was more accessible. The Lauridsen Collection of warbirds and classic aeroplanes http://www.visitingphx.com/lauridsen.html is housed here and is easily accessible for some good photographs. 

The C-1A was stripped and had no trace of identity so the registration is obtained from the website above.
The C-119G is the one that made its way to Namibia during December 2003, to participate in the remake of "The Flight of the Phoenix" movie.
The B-26B N4819E is pretty derelict near the airport entrance.
