Well during my vacation I went to the Cape May County Airport ( KWWD ) that used to be NAS Wildwood for they're annual air festival.  The weather sucked so the only thing flying was the B-25 and some GA.  The first that catched your eye as you park is the herd of Caribou ( DHC-4a ).  They are owned by Pen Turbo Aviation and are being retro-fitted with turboprop engines and then sold.  An F-14 greeted you next.
A sweet L-19 Birddog and I think an old search and rescue Avenger.  More to come!!

 Enjoy!!

Most of those Caribou have Spanish markings on them... and boy, are they grimy.
Where's the little Cessna with the Betty Boop nose art?

OK, question here,........ is that a Bird Dog or a cross between an L-19 and a Cessna 180.....the fin and rear side windows seem soooooo out of place compared to the model I built.....

Is that F-14 apart of a static display? is it flight ready? Love the Caribou shot's!

From a quick search round it would appear to be the later & more powerful O-1C 'Bird Dog II' supplied to the US Marine Corps. Due to change of US military designations in 1962 this was also known as the OE-2. http://aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu/specs/cessna/oe-2.htm
The original US Army L-19A became the O-1A while the US Marine OE-1 became O-1B.
Apparently only 25 of the O-1C variant were built so I don't know if this one is original.

Sorry, Doug

  I didn't read this post before I posted the same info in the other post that you already found out.

 Thanks!!
