This picture may not fit in this thread, as it was only taken last weekend, but here's an old N3N (crop duster) that I found for sale stuffed away in an old worn out hangar. It's data plate says 6-11-41. :shock:

Definitely NOT a Stearman! I looked it over closely and it's a completely metalized N3N with a 985 on it.

Yeah, I was just about to say that I wouldn't play such a mean trick on Jeff, but it looks like YOU will. :lol:

You know, I just realized that is actually the only picture I took of it. :oops: The owner has passed away and his son wants to sell it now. Send me a PM as to what they were asking for it before, please. It might be interesting to hear.

I took a picture of the Sno S2-A also, but I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing it here on WIX.

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.
