Hi Gary; N602PR is owned by Charlotte Aircraft Corp., the organization is a "mod and chop shop" type of thing. N602PR, no I didn't it at Base Camp, however, the 747s Wolfbane
The 427th makes use of the airfield (Lauringburg-Maxton Airport - formerly known as the Lauringburg
Maxton Air Base - during WWII). Namely some of the planes seen at Base Camp. Several 737 (CRAF C-16) and
727s are or were stored here (727s are C-22s). Seen
here also is a gray C-23 Air National Guard type, but
with civil registration (couldn't get close enough to
make out the number).
at this SE airfield (last counted four) are being used
for spare parts for a special ops 747 some where in the "field." Some of the Janet 737s have transited thru-here. Some were stored, while others were simply
chopped up. I have a few photos of some of these aircraft and I am scanning them. When finished, I'll send them to you. The photos were taken outside the fence (with poor camera - I didn't want to chance losing my good camera), while I was not allowed to take photos while on the airfield since some of the aircraft there were from special ops.
