I was in Maricopa last month and snapped these with my cell phone, I believe these are from Falcon field, but I am not sure when they were moved to Maricopa.

That fuselage jig looks a bit like the one that George built at Aero Salvage or Aero Metals (don't recall the company name exactly). That was the place in Phoenix that had a bunch of Marsh N3Ns back in the mid 1980s.

Looks like there are more Stearmans then N3N's in those pics.
