Title: A MUST SEE
Post by: helbent on November 19, 2014, 07:51:52 AM

Not sure if posted yet.  An absolute treasure trove to be sold off in Texas.  Many planes but including 6 109s (spanish), spit 9, 2 PBYs.

A must see guys, quite an amazing cache.

Why? Where are they coming from? Where do those horrible abominations of mankind keep breeding?
