I have been looking for an aircraft that I jumped from in Georgia. It ws or looked as if it was aglider with engines on it. I though it was a c-82 but all pictures asyit was not. It did look like a glider with two engines. This was in the 50's.

I was a Deputy Sheriff in Cochise County, Arizona, in the mid 1970's. The Douglas International Airport was just north of Douglas, Arizona. A Connestoga fuselage lay abandoned in a field past the old hangers. Once in a while I would sit inside and eat my lunch. There were buzzing rattle snakes and whisteling .22 cal bullet holes in the stainless steel to keep me company. The interior had a plywood floorboard and LOTS of space. I often wondered what happened to the old bird, until many years later I saw it in the back area of the Pima Air Museum at Tucson.
I don't know if the wings and engines were somewhere on the airport or what Pima has or intends to do with it. I'll see what I can find out.

This was the first airplane Flying Tiger Line flew as a cargo company. They flew Strawberries and flowers to the east cost. Before my time though.. John Dewey who was head of maintenence was given one after they quit flying them. He donated it to the LA Airport fire dept for fire practice. They called him one day and wanted to know what it was made of as they seemed to have trouble burning it...

The last Budd C-93 Conestoga is at the Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson, AZ. Check their web site for a picture.
