Were you able to buy it or is it still there?

Re: Look what I found.

It's still there. I have the contact info and the AF Serial number is painted on the other side of the wing. No serious damage, but it's been outside in the weeds for 40 years. Guy left before I found it so I couldn't ask how much.
I have to talk my wife into buying it for me for my Birthday!

Nothing WWII. There are two or three twisted and badly rusted tube fuselages, but most are C-150-182 and they're a mess.

And the number is? You know we're just dying to run it through Baugher.

it's been outside in the weeds for 40 years.


Wonder where it was until the '70s? I suppose it was never civilianized.
