Warbird Information Exchange

Ran across this forlorn old gal on my way back from Reno. Located in Yerington, Nv. I'm
also shocked at how complete the cockpit still is! Don't know if its for sale, but as they
say; anythings for sale for the right price! I wouldn't mind having it in my backyard

Taigh would have that one flying in about 8 hours.

Looks like that would make someone a nice project.

Thanks for the pictures,
John

Too funny to see a thread with my name in it. 8 hours sounds good but that would include an hour for lunch and 30 minutes to gas and oil it!

I met the owner of this Beech a few years ago at Reno. He doesn't want to sell it, at least t the time he didn't.

Looks like a solid SNB-5 or UC-45J project.

You missed the Beech at the Brothel. Good story about that one...

We've seen the photos here before...I'm sure we'd all love to hear the story? What's an old Beech worth to the sisters of mercy?

This kind of thing infuriates me. He'd rather let it sit there and let it sink into the sand? We have the same kind of deal locally but with vintage cars. About 5 miles from here there is some mean old recluse who has his proprty covered with rotting vintage cars...Camaros, Mustangs, a couple 57 Be Airs, El Caminos, Impalas, and at least four chrome-bumpered C3 Corvettes. I would love to get my hands on one of the latter, a two Stingray garage would be great!

I've talked to a couple people that have talked to the old coot about buying a couple and he runs them off the property.

Didn't miss it, just its been posted here b4. I only know the story from Mikes website:

http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDos ... rial=16262

I'm glad you at least know the guy and the situation, someday maybe....

I tracked the owner down a few years ago myself. Tried to buy it from the city, as they wanted it removed...I found the owner in Vegas, and got the same answer..."not for sale" It had a blown jug on port engine...I have always wondered if the guy had repaired it or not. Used to be an old Aero Commander sitting next to the Beech too...

I only know the story from Mikes website:

Sure, um huh, yea that's what you told the wife anyway!

Sorry, I don't have those options on mine. I didn't seem to miss them in this photo taken while I was flying....
