The last remnant of this little grass strip was this hangar, the windsock pole still apparent on one side. The field was the property of Myron C. Baker, operator of a local orchard, and a charter member of the Ohio Flying Farmers in 1946. Mr. Baker passed away in 1999, but for reasons unknown this field persisted on the FAA active airports lists until 2022, despite being overgrown for much of that time. So many stories this place could surely tell.

This L-39 was built in August 1976 and TOC by the Czechoslovak AF. In July 1996, L-39C 4357 and L-39V 0745 collided during training of the acrobatic group White Albatross. The L-39C pilots ejected safely and their plane crashed in an industrial zone in ​​Košice. The pilot of 0745 landed at LZKZ despite extensive damage to the rear fuselage. The frame was repaired, retired in 2007, stored and is now undergoing restoration for display. Either these are parts replaced during the original repair or, perhaps more likely, have been replaced during the ongoing restoration. More info always welcome.

Well preserved inside a hangar at Rio Cuarto, C-717 has been quoted as the last active Mirage IIIC variant in the world. Although no longer active when this picture was taken, it deserves a better place of retirement than a dark hangar at the overhaul centre.
