It appears to be the former PLANES OF FAME project that was purchased by the PAUL ALLEN collection. The fact that JEFF THOMAS is selling it also points to Mr ALLEN as he has been the purchasing agent for most of the HERITAGE COLLECTION transactions.

Also the right wing in the pictures is the mock-up wing made at the museum. Notice no lightening holes in the inboard rib.

Vanguard is correct.
Errickson's FM-2 is restored and has flown. It is the x-Don Novas machine from Blackfoot, ID. This is the former Planes of Fame FM-2
with the made-up wing. The sale may be because of the forced closure of the Arlington Air station Museum.
Rob-it works as I got photos, history, description ect.

Brandon,

for reasons unknown, the ad was withdrawn. It was published on the 20th of this month.

I have searched the ads database, and I did not come up with either the company LEGACY AIRCRAFT SALES, or with the name Jeff Thomas, nor any recent postings on an FM-2.


Saludos,


Tulio

Thanks guys. I thought my internet searching skills had let me down again! :cry:

Maybe the post on Barnstormers was bogus?

There is a telephone number there; I am not familiar with the name of the poster, but then again, I don't keep track of warbirds, their owners or / and brokers, and once in a while, there is a name I recognize, but not in this case.

Why publish a bogus ad? To spite someone?

If the airplane was sold so fast, they could have published the ad with a "sold" notice.

Saludos,


Tulio
