Did you see this on Barnstormers? Drool, drool, drool. It is in a lien sale for a judgement. They would like to get 40K. Sheriffs sale will only allow an arms length inspection. No poking or prodding allowed. Sonoma County CA Sheriffs auction. Is the paint scheme right? It looks like a 1960's Cessna scheme to me.

Here's the old girl in better times. This photo is from 1992. I think I saw here again in Sonoma during 2000 or 2001, but don't recall for sure, pictures aren't filed yet. Sorry about the photo quality.

This is N65201, a 1937 YKS-7 mc/n 4621

For all you movie buffs this aircraft was used in the 1942 movie
"Captains of the Clouds" with James Cagney, Dennis Morgan, and Alan Hale,Sr. The plane had been on floats.

Just to let everyone know this cabin class Waco was recently purchased by an individual at the Charles M. Schulz- Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA

Auction closed w/o making reserve. Top bid $30K.
It's now on Barnstormers at $45K here....Waco on Barnstormers

It originally sold at the Sheriffs auction for $25K and he also bought a Piper Pacer at that sale. The Pacer sold on Ebay earlier.

That's my first look at Barnstormers site. How the heck do you navigate it? How do you find the Waco?
