Subject: AT11 Hulk @Moriarty,NM
The hulk pictured was donated to us by Loren Buss in the condition you see. He used it and one other to restore N15KK back to AT11 configuration. I have searched the hulk for any identification but without the spar data plate I have no idea what it was.

He donated a second hulk which is mostly just a spar and center section. We have it inside because it is one of our guides for reassembling the center section. It does have a data plate on the spar but the original serial number has been restamped and now reads 65.41.16. Type is AT-11-BH and the contract number is 19608. I don't know if these provide any help in identifying the plane.
These two hulks have already contributed to restoring one AT-11 and are now giving their last to getting another one flying.
