Take a look at this plane, it's a PV-2 Harpoon. It currently resides at Mt. Comfort Airport, about 5 minutes away from where I live. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a proper hanger, and it is subjected to the weather and other bad things. And since the Mt. Comfort Airport can't afford to supply a hanger for it, it's asking the public to donate money to it.

I'm posting this to bring this to the public light, and frankly, I LOVE this plane! It has kept me in modeling, because I'm in the middle of converting a PV-1 into this particular PV-2. This plane means a lot to me, and many others, as it's a living museum.

Thanks for your time.
