Great rebuild.

FYI my AT-28D-5 [started life as an A Model] that we recovered from Laos many moons ago was a complete unbent aircraft. During our restoration to flying condition it was discovered that:

- Centre fuselage one serial number
- RH outer wing panel another number
- LH outer wing panel yet another
- Centre section wings different again
- Rear fuselage different to centre fuselage
- Engine mount/cowls from a B model [still had big traces of International Orange on them!]

Not sure about flaps and control surfaces.

It was given a number 50-273 and log books showed this...

Was it an original AT-28D-5?


Like so many service aircraft....and here in the UK referred to as a Triggers Broom.

And for the explanation of that... :lol:

The Teeter family businesses are building Mustangs from scratch, with no original data plate, does that mean they are not really Mustangs?

I also saw an ad on Barnstormer's for a Mustang data plate that had been "registered for twenty years".
Is that still a Mustang?

I'd take either one. pop2
