Hi John,
Sorry about your Father-in-Law. God bless you and your wife with the strength it takes to deal with everything a loss like this involves.
Not to change the subject so quickly, but "yes" on the first photo of two panels. These are indeed Fairchild PT-26 panels, although slightly modified. I might be interested in prying these away from you if you give me a little better idea on condition. It's too bad the instrument holes have been "adjusted" slightly.
Hey, did you just buy Wayne Harrison's Fairchild PT inventory? He wants me to give him your e-mail address, but I thought I'd better check with you first (although it's not exactly like you're hard to find).
If you were indeed the guy from Maryland that bought his stuff, let's talk. There are a couple of things I am interested in.
Again....my sympathies to you and your's, John.
Steve
