Did you happen to check the serial number of the Snow or is the N number visible on your photo? I know someone who may be interested in it.


I don't know the serial number, but one of the old timers that looked at this picture said it's an early one. It's pretty rough though........

Perfectly fine, S2A's are cool. Dad has a friend that made one into a 2 seater and my uncle sold him some BT-13 canopys and he painted it in a 1930's navy scheme.................looked great!!!!! I would do that in a heartbeat if I fell into a good deal.

Yes and here's a show plane with the Wasp...

I suggest you don't click any of the links as it will bring up pics of the outside of one of those wretched Brand X planes. Jeff, let's keep posting 4 aileron biplanes and drown out those Brand X Wacheeta .....things.

I try and tread carefully when it comes to those sites. You dont know what kind of virus your computer can get. Next thing you know, you have naked Stearmans :vom:
