Unfortunately, Tanker 97 went for 75K.
Thte KC-97G went for 55K.

We were bidding on T-97, went for more than we could bid.

I hope someone donates it to us! :shock:

Wonder how many of them did go to scrappers... With aluminum trading at 75 cents a pound a lot of those big birds went for less than scrap value. And what of all the spare engine parts? God I can't think about it after hearing about the Blakey auction.

Both of those P-2's are complete airplanes, at least in the pictures I saw of them. When I was in Greybull in July they complete then, but who knows.

I suppose that those two P2V's went to the scrappers :cry:

If they were anywhere near flyable, that seems like an absurdly low price. Those Neptunes had engines hanging on them didn't they?

I sure would have loved to have one of those C-119's or P-2V's down here at my airport.

WOW!! What a selection of R-2600's, R-2800's, R-3350's, R-4360's as well as huge numbers of propellers and other parts. I sure hope that the items I just mentioned, went to some warbird owner groups so we can keep more planes airworthy!

The Privateers were skipped. Complete R-2600-29A overhauled with carb and records went for $13500, no carb $9500, brand new R-2600-35 $1400, new overhaul 3350's with records $8000 to $8500, 3350-32A's with records $800 each, brand new in can R-2800-43b's no records $6000 to $6750. Oh, and add 13% auction fee and 5% tax.
I thought the Movie Star C-119 would bring more, it even came with 2 extra engines. The other C-119 went for just $30,000.
Thursday there is a bunch of airframes early on, some look fairly complete. Rob S

Is there any WW2 radio gear on auction? We need a bunch of stuff for the restoration of Chuckie's radio compartment, mainly command sets and their accessories.
