Ned Gilliand reported, “Two Bell pilots found a recessed actual-sized WWI biplane silhouette west of the old Hicks Field location.

Locals say it was used for practice bombing (using bags of flour) & for some strafing practice.

Over the years the local farmers fenced in the site, hoping to protect it in some way.
