It's funny, on another mil board I read someone posted about their base having no money left for grounds keeping; it looks as though that's the same problem here.

There is a data plate on the Beech Plane stating its uses, I just don't have photos. I did photo 2 planes and 3 helicopters at Sea Girt, NJ today, I'll post in "other" category on AFV News. (JG300)
There are other places where the Grounds have been let go, besides the former Ordnance Museum. I noticed other empty lots were not cut also. (ShermanwasRight)
