Ok guys, not starting a rumor, but I hope to confirm it is not...

But I have been on a search to find a C-47 astrodome. I had a gentleman contact me from the barnstormers ad I placed saying he had one. However, I have asked him two times now to send a picture of the astrodome and he sent me two pics of the nav room the first time and the last two pics were of the IWM's C-47 hanging from the roof and an engine.

This is what he said to me in the email, but something doesn't seem right. He wants payment via money gram, so I'm a little skeptical now since he is not sending what I'm asking for.



Do they have a second C-47 there that they may be parting out?

Sounds like it's time to move on. If Moneygram is anything like Western Union, there is no tracability.

Yeah that is what I am thinking as well. I asked about paypal and he said he can not use it as it is currently "dormant".

yup definitely a scam. I searched his name and found this thread on an auto forum.

I sort of wish there was a way we could proceed and catch this guy.

Have you checked with the folks at Basler? They remove the astrodomes as part of the turbo conversion...

I contacted them by phone and then by email last year and they more or less just blew me off. Plus everything they seem to sell for C-47/DC-3's is considerably marked up in price.
