I was in Bozeman, MT this August and at the back of Montana Classic Cars (a vintage auto yard) I found these parts stacked up. I don't know if they are for sale or what they are from, but I'd like to see what some here think they are.
Any guesses?





Thanks.
Jerry

I'm no expert but those tailfeathers look like they're from an American Eagle biplane. Take a look and imagine the bent tubes in the top end of the rudder all straightened out

A quick googling shows that WAAAM has one. If you want to know for sure what's in the pile you could probably get in touch with the A-101's caretaker at the museum.

I was think that or a WACO 9 or 10, but I just don't know for sure.
They're pretty rusted and may only be good for bar/hangar decorations.

They ain't Waco......elevators almost look Travel Air as they are squared off.
