I took a drive around South Carolina over the weekend to check out some of the various preserved and dumped aircraft.
Florence Regional Airport
?? HU16B Stripped on the dump, is this 51-7212 that used to be at the museum there?
Darlington County Airport
53-6089 T33A TR-089 good condition
Bishopville – Lee County Veterans Museum
58-0504 T33A Very poor condition, wings and canopy removed
Camden Kershaw County Airport
(63-7622) F4C Currently being repainted and does not carry serial yet
Bessemer City (North Carolina) - American Legion Post
51-5576 F94C
Gaffney - Cherokee County Veterans Museum
54-2733 T37B Silver
66-0764 UH1H MT NG
Chesnee - American Legion Post

Columbia Military Museum
66-0643 UH1M SC NG (marked 0-06643 was previously at McEntire)
??-????? OH58 unmarked possibly also from McEntire?
I believe the H13 is inside and was not visible from outside as the museum was closed
St Matthews – private residence

Charleston AFB
(54-0180) EC121S
(52-1072) C124C

I couldn’t stop to confirm serials this time and have not found a place to see the preserved C47 from outside yet
Back in April I noted UH1H 67-17338 on a pole at Barnwell Airport
