I think it and a P-51 landed at Republic Airport on Long Island last summer. I was working testing the area for hangars that got set aside when they built the second runway. It was like walking around in post Cold War ruins, there had been suburban housing between the blimp mast and the runway. Archeology testing, spent a lot of time after looking for Steve Fossett online at mTurk at Amazon with satellite imagery. My grand-dad fished some B-24 guys out of Flushing Bay, he was a crash-boat captain for surplus PBY's first to regularly fly to Rio de Janeiro. Terrible they let the tide gates fail there, the place is flooded and there's a crane in the middle of the flooded runway! Don't land there! They think West Nile started there in NY sort of like the cholera tea-pump they traced cholera to I think. Dead birds followed, the raven nevermore!
