Got another batch of 1970's era photos from Leon Cleaver (Woodsy Airfield) to share. First up: SNJ-4 N6419D, c/n 88-13369, dated July 1973:
And a sad update, taken November 8, 1975 at Causey's Airport in Julian, NC:
This photo appeared in Air Classics, April 1976, page 12. It (and some more I'll be posting) was taken by Claude Sheaffer of Greensboro, NC. According to Leon:
NTSB report: http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviat ... 5182&key=0
Checking Aerial Visuals, the aircraft is listed as being rebuilt as N24554, BuNo 27245, which is currently flying with the MAAM as Miss Ginny, but it has a different c/n: 88-12281. Were two airframes combined to make one aircraft?
