| Melissa Norman, Oklahoma | I was in OKC today and my son asked if we could stop off at the Fair Grounds to look at the airplanes. I was born in 1970 and grew up making regular trips to the Fair Grounds to look at the planes with my dad. When I moved back to Oklahoma 3 years ago from San Francisco, I took my kids to the see the planes that my dad used to take me to see. My father passed away before my first child was born, so my kids only know stories about my dad. The airplanes were something special that I could pass on to them from their Grandpa Mike. Today, as we pulled up to the spot where the planes used to be, I was devastated to discover that they were gone. Thank you to those of you that have provided some of the amazing history behind the planes and thank you for telling where the planes have ended up. I know they were becoming weathered and deteriorating, but I will certainly miss them. 03/27/2008 @ 17:16 [ref: 7249] |

I wish things were diffrent. I love you guys, I hope nothing else happens like this. Lets get together and have a gathering. Bring some potato salid and punch and talk about things of historical value and what we can do to protect them. Who's going to look after this stuff. I'll help anyway I can guys. 03/26/2008 @ 16:50 [ref: 7239] |
| kevin sullivan hicksville, New York |  Jason the C-47 is being restored after 65 yrs deteriation and exposion to the weather in Oka and 32yrs on the poles at the Oka State Fair & prior assigned to McGee Kerr Corp. The Plane will remain in Oka City at the Metrotech Avaiation Campus on the Will Rogers Int Airport. It took me over 4yrs to receive the medals for my father in law brother who jumped from this plane position #5 on D Day June 6 1944 and died 4 days later June 10, 1944 St. Mere Eglise. I recovered the D-Day Jump Log Manifest and Flight Formation and was able to prove the historic value of this plane. Oka State Rep. Gary Banz along with Metrotech Avaiation School Director Peter Lee are working on a project to restored memoralize the D-Day Paratroopers of this plane near Veterans Day Nov 2008. Thanks for your help and those wishing to contribute please send to Defenders of Dreams Heritage Center – P.O. Box 10492, Midwest City, Oklahoma 73140. (Attention: Rep. Gary Banz – C-47 Restoration Project) 03/23/2008 @ 10:45 [ref: 7235] |
| Robert West Palmdale,, California | Just thought you all might be interested in knowing the B-52 has arrived in California is at present awaiting restoration in the Joe Davies Heritage Air Park. Does any one know anything about the AGM-28 Hound Dog Missile that was there? We also have it and are trying to ascertain the true serial number of it. 08/24/2007 @ 08:40 [ref: 6244] |
| Clay B, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma |  All of the planes have been removed from the fairgrounds. The B-47 is going to Wichita, the B-52 is going to California, and the C-47/DC-3 and Aero Commander prototype are going to Metro Tech University in Oklahoma City. 06/12/2007 @ 03:22 [ref: 5965] |
| Willy Logan Norman, Oklahoma | This is an interesting display with four planes. The fairgrounds look like they were built in the 1950s or 1960s, and they're showing their age. The setting of the display, then, is about as interesting as the aircraft themselves. 09/06/2005 @ 16:58 [ref: 4410] |
| Sean Shenold Roswell, New Mexico | The B-52 was put in place in the early 70's; don't know where it came from. The display features a B-52, a B-47, a C-47, and an early Aero Commander twin. All airplanes are displayed outside on tall concrete pilings; each has a bronze plaque on one of the pilings. Since they've all been outside for many years, they've all deteriorated to some extent, and could really use some work. 08/20/2002 @ 13:37 [ref: 2400] |
| Horace M. Carner Jr. Montezuma, New York | Can anyone tell me where the old high tail B-52 came from? Was it from Clinton-Sherman AFB,Okla. when they closed it down? On a trip thru the area in 1997 to visit my old air base in Burns Flat,Okla. I just happened to see the B-52 from the interstate,but the fair was closed. Have e-mailed the fair and never received a answer. Help anyone. 08/23/2001 @ 04:01 [ref: 1389] |
| DAN VANARSDALL Graham, Texas | This is not to bad of a display if you are going to the Fair Grounds on other bussiness, or you were going to be close by. There are a few aircraft up on pilings and that's it. Like I stated not bad for what it is. 02/26/2001 @ 09:17 [ref: 872] |
