Charlie Rothe in New York reported in November 2000 that he "worked on an AT-21 at Spartan school of aero. in 1950-51 I was there under an Air Force contract along with 299 other Air Force men. The AT-21 was used by us students along with 2 BT-13's and 2 AT-9's and a UC-78. That was in another lifetime!!!!! "

I seem to remember that Oregon State University (Oregon State College back then) had a B-17. I know that I have seen a photograph of it sitting in front of the WWII hanger at the Corvallis airport somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it...



This was purchased by Bob Sturges along woth the Universtiy's P-40M now with Stephen Grey.

 Post subject: USC Update (!)
PostPosted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 11:18 pm 
According to my newly-acquired copy of "Military Aircraft Boneyards" USC at one time had 12 aircraft including:

BT-13B 42-89682,
C-46A 42-3656
P-47D 42-23278
P-59A 44-22614
P-38J 44-23314
P-63A 42-68894
B-17F 42-6073

and a AT-6, UC-78 and B-25 for which no serials are quoted - that makes ten out of twelve, anyway. Fantastic William T. Larkins Photo. I should have bought this book much earlier.

Hmmm,

Will the folks at Wyotech ever do anything with the O-2?
They just received another 337 from one of the schools they had purchased and shut down.
