-He's very much still there, though he has sold off some items...IIRC, a F-82.
If you do a search at WIX, you'll find several threads about him and his collection.

-It is indeed a Victor nose, that of XL191 which undershot Hamilton. Our newest volunteer and ex-Victor crew Chief John was in charge of 191 for a while. Still hasn't forgiven the pilot...!
Edit; XM692 snuck in with the sereal while I was looking the other way...

Came across this link and photos of the amazing farmyard collection of Walter Soplata. I remember reading about this guy back in the 80's, and although i'm not sure how much of this stuff is still extent here, he sure did collect some rare pieces including the prototype EF-82E Twin Mustang, a P80, Vought Cutlass, B36 Peacemaker, F2G Corsair, and what looks like a HP Victor nose.
