Amazing stuff! Sure wish someone could snap up that Delta and get it flying again! Nice Monocoupe too.

What is the status of the Trimmer? That is a Baltimore related airplane and I would like to be in touch with the owner if they are available.

No idea.....I tried every combination I could think of on the registry to find it...then tried by make/model and nothing. This photo was taken in the 1960's.

Wishing to see such a one-of-a-kind airplane fly is selfish, inappropriate, and against all principles of preservation -- and I completely agree with you. :) After a short period in the air it should, of course, end up at NASM (or perhaps Canada's NAM). Sort of like the Boeing 307, except without the dunk-in-Puget-Sound part.

The Travel Air 2000 I think is N6298, a 4000. The pics available of it online show it without the speed ring, but I have some older ones with the ring on.

On the Trimmer, according to aerofiles.com only 2 were built, NX41853 and NX/NC41999. Your pic would have to be of 41999. This was later modified into the Biemond CB-1 Teal. See:

http://www.1000aircraftphotos.com/Gener ... alCB-1.htm

You can find out quite a lot about it if you google Biemond Teal.

I have a couple pics of it (Still as the Trimmer) from Watsonville '66.

I like the looks of the Monocoupe with the big wheel pants and bump cowl.
