PT Fairchild Owners at Oshkoshbygosh

[sdennison]

Can anyone direct me to a list of owners that made the show and the models they brought?

Thanks,

[Dan K]

I'll have a go at it, Scott.

I assume you already have the goods on the new kid on the block at Crites.

The silver PT-23 parked in front of the Antique Red Barn belongs to Rudy Frasca.




This lovely Fleet-built PT-26A belongs to Mark Howard. He has it based at Cimarron Field, a former AAF training field at Yukon, OK that he is rebuilding into a working museum.




Here's some serious Cornell trivia: Apparently you can identify Fleet-built PT-26's as they are the only ones with these funky indicators that warn the unwary of a hot magneto.




I believe this PT-26 is static (prop is beginning to delam) Owned by EAA?




Can't recall who owns this -23. I think it's based in Illinois. (or not).

Dan and Scott,

The bottom PT-23 (#17 a.k.a. N64202 or S/N 318HO) is owned by Bill Ribbens and his son (Ted, if I remember correctly) who call Ann Arbor, Michigan "home".

Bill soloed in this very airplane many decades ago, and it has been in the family ever since.

Sorry I missed catching up with you down at Oshkosh Scott.

Steve
