Hi all,
I'm working on a model kit review of a Guardian and I like to include info about survivors of the real deal in such articles. Aerial Visuals, Geoff Goodall and Wikipedia all have some contrasting info and I'd like to be able to nail things down definitively. From these sources what I can glean is:
- AF-2W BuNo.123088/N3143G on display at the Chico Air Museum, CA (confirmed by their website which says "one of only
six in the world")
- AF-2W BuNo.123100/N3144G* on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, FL
- AF-2S BuNo.126731/N9993Z with the Commemorative Air Force in Dallas, TX (under restoration? On static display?)
- AF-2S BuNo.126792/N9995Z with Skyler C. Burchinal in Brookston, TX
- AF-2S BuNo.129233/N9994Z on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum, AZ (painted as N9995Z, confirmed by their website)
*Goodall and the instructions
for my model kit say BuNo.126759 was N3144G...?
Any advances/corrections?
