Planes of Fame YP-59A Airacomet Help

Tue Mar 17, 2015 4:21 am

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a construction or production number for the Airacomet at POF, serial 42-108777? Also is there an N-number for the a/c or that has been reserved for the a/c? I can't find either one listed anywhere on the internet so I was hoping someone here would have that info. I like to get the correct information put in when I upload my photos on the internet. Thank you

Stephen
