Whoever buys it, i hope they retain it in its current configuration. That is too cool! All the other BT-13/15's out there are either in stock configuration or have meatballs on the wings. This one is unique and a treasure in her own respect!

Yup, already had that. Thanks!

Was looking to see if anyone had the original BT-13 Serial#?

I just tried to contact John Price, who is selling it, to see if he had information on it.


Thanks,!

Several years ago we had several BT tubulars that had similar modifications. One of the seat modifications looked like a metal kitchen chair modified to fit onto the floor panels of the aircraft. Another had a bench seat.

No not considering purchasing, just wanted to update my BT-13.org website.

Plus, when I do purchase, I would like to re-purchase the aircraft my grandfather restore, a BT-13A which is owned now by Janet McColough of Kansas.

Peace! :D
