Thanks for bumping, Ken, as for whatever reason I missed this thread last June.

This all may be water under the bridge by now, but 10-15 (20?) years ago an AT-11 or SNB (...silver...Chinese Nationalist markings...Crocker-Wheeler turret...) used to fire off her guns at fly-ins and scare the poop out of bystanders in the immediate area. Perhaps it was via a sound system, but I was under the impression they were using propane-fired stuff. It sure was loud enough.

Funny thing, I can't seem to find a pic of this aircraft. Does my description ring a bell with anyone (so the current/previous owner could be tracked down)? Have I perhaps lost what little is left of my mind?

Hello Dan, sorry, I just saw your post.
The Kansan you are referring to is actually an SNB-1, N145SC, formerly owned by Bill Russell and Ray Thompson.

It was later painted back to Navy colors.

Beautiful Kansan, I'd like to see it in person again.
Thanks John
