NA-16 Folks:

Good day!

Seeking assistance with a poss NA-16 restoration project poss in the USA or Canada ..maybe Europe.




p.s It was the oldest surviving NA-16 in the world! Made its rounds as a demo aircraft in China c.1936 & then went S.of the Border in c.1937. Picture below is how the sample looked c. Sept 1980 at the FAH boneyard. FAH S/N #20 X NC16025. Photo via AEC.

NA-16 Folks:

The same aircraft prior to its ferry flight to Tgu, Honduras c. 1937. Photo NAA Archives via AEC. Other countries include RAF, Venezuela, Brazil & Equador.

Mr. Zorro, it is not clear to me, what you are asking. Is the airplane in your picture no longer in Honduras?

I, too am interested in finding a NA-16 or BT-9, if anyone has one they would like to find a good home for.

The second sample pictured above in the yellow scheme was also at the boneyard in deteriorating condition & he hope it found a good home someplace in the US, Canada or Europe. Its final destination is Ukn for now.
