I visited Florida for the first time in 1984 and went to most of the airfields in the southern half of the state. Astonishing number of Douglas, Convair and Martin propliners, even a few Connies, to be found rotting and forgotten, hardly an airfield didn't have at least one it seemed.
Sadly mostly gone the next time I went in 1988, though Maurice Roundy and Kermit Weekes saved the Starliner parked up at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood.
The O-49 Connie parked nearby was scrapped...
