U-3B(Cessna 310) Full Scale
Spent some time today doing something that I've wanted to do for a while.... tear a plane apart, and not have to put it back together... lol
The subject was a U-3B(Cessna 310). One of the few that was used by the Air Force as a "chase plane" for the U-2 spyplanes. This particular aircraft was donated to a flying club 15 years ago, and was the only one that was not scrapped, until today. Unfortunately, there is no desire for the aircraft anymore, and this one is being salvaged as well. It's really a shame, as the plane could have been restored fairly easily... In fact, the gas in the tanks still appeared to be good...

That is really a shame. Not many 310B's were built. Made famous by the Sky King TV series.
