1979 Oshkosh Grand Champion FM-2

Fri Mar 03, 2006 10:48 pm

In the December 1979 edition of the EAA Sport Aviation mag, there is an article on the 1979 Oshkosh Grand Champion, which was the FM-2 Wildcat currently at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum.

I don't have the article, but I know that the article contains several pictures of the Wildcat. There is one particular picture I would like to see. It is the one of the FM-2 when still at Bill Ross' property, prior to its purchase by Louis Gallo in the late sixties.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Julian

Lynn,

I should have looked on the internet a bit harder :?

All I found first time round was the page to order the complete CD set of past issues for $150+.

Couldn't find any on-line access to past issues, but did find a link to the membership email address where you can request a quote for re-prints. Sent them an email.

Thanks for the suggestion.
