What the hell happened here? I was surprised he did not rip the whole wing off.

There were three all builded around the same time I know that one was build by the Snaders brothers but it stayed on the West Coast

Just looking at the OD paint job and the cowl number, I'll stick saying that was the Alan W./Sanders machine.
There was another one built by Gary Guilliate, a neignbor of JCW's, named "Preying Mantis" but it's based at
Grass Valley i believe.

The big difference between zero replicas and the Na-50, P-64 replicas is the 1820 in the latter. 1475 horses makes for a real screamer.

I have to agree as I remember seeing this bird at Chino back in the late '80s or early '90s.

Dale Clarke and Alan Wocjiak. Some guy named BDK helped. As far as I know it was the first high-back T-6 built during my lifetime.

Dale Clarke built the T-6/Boomerang replica with Dennis Sanders. Now owned by Eliot Cross?

I think Gary Guillat built his NA-50 replica in the late '90s.

Jeff Clyman had an NA-50 for a while also. Flat OD with "The Cockpit" logo on the tail.
I shot it Air-to-air at Oshkosh in 1990. I think it was the west coast one.

I took this at TICO Airshow in Florida I believe in 93.

I have tried to bring out the N number best I could.
Looks like NX-98474 to me, which does come back as
a Harvard. A/W date 1985. Owner in N.C.

There's another NA-50 out here in southern Oregon other than Guilliat's.
It belongs to Larry Hardin in Bandon. I haven't talked to him in years and don't know if he flies it or even has it anymore. Has I remember it was gray in color. N50MQ and was reqistered has a NA-50 not a T-6.
The MQ being the same has Yak-11 11MQ makes me think of Dan McQue has the builder.

I've photographed a few of these birds through the years.

N250NA as an NA-50 is Gary Gulliats and kept at Grass Valley as Jack mentioned. It was for sale last time I spoke to Gary. I'll see him tomorrow at EAA Golden West in Marysville.

NX80714 as a NA-50 was at Reno in '89 with a red/white/blue tail, red nosed cowling, and metal finish, later painted into OD green, but keeping it's red markings. Now in Oklahoma?

N202LD as a NA-50 was owned by Kent Carlomagno in the 1990's and I believe has moved onto a new owner in Florida.

N64NA as a P-64 was flown out of Petaluma/Napa for a while, later going to Oregon.

N510TQ as an NA-50 was all white in 1996 at Oshkosh byGosh, now in Indiana?

A friend says Jack Rose had an NA-50 built up which
was later sold. Anyone know where it went and what
the idently of the airframe is?
