Curtiss AT-9 Jeep?

You are correct, my friend.

It is the Curtiss AT-9 Fledgling or jeep if your prefer. A beautiful aircraft in my opinion.

Anyone know if any are flying today?

Either a highly modified Colonial Viper or the boomer's position on the KC-97 at the NMUSAF...

You're absolutely right...Colonial Viper

I thought 180'ing the picture might throw people for a minute. guess not

I imagine the Boomer position on the KC-97 is one of the more photographed things in the museum. I'm just glad it's indoors now.



Well I'll keep trying.

Looks like some sort of helicopter bits....tail and tail rotor swash plate maybe. Off what I have no idea.....

[Chris Brame]

OK, what and where?



Extra credit for the serial number

Referring to Chris's post I'm thinking F-5G maybe 44-27183?
