| Brian Brumfield Northglenn, CO | Many Lodestars were acquired after the war by the Howard aircraft company. The planes were converted to luxury corporate aircraft, the Howard 250. The later model PV-2 Harpoon was converted by Howard into the Howard 450, and eventually Howard built from the ground-up the Howard 500 which looks virtually identical to the 450 (PV-2) model. Tennessee Ernie Ford owned a Howard 250, which had originally been delivered to the USAF in 1943 as a C-60, and was given to the RCAF shortly there after. This C-60/Howard 250 is now in the hands of the Confederate Air Force's Mile High Wing in Boulder, Colorado, donated by Ernie Ford's estate in the early 1980's. 01/03/2001 @ 21:25 [ref: 1314] |
