The FM-2 is with John Dimmer for sale on Courtesy. The F6F-3 was wrecked see other thread. I don't know the 2 SNJ's N number. Jack also had a DC-3 which he had to taxi off the airport and down the road, turn around and use the road for part of the runway (oh the good ol days!)to have enough lenght, an Otter and a T-28B (project that was sold ). Jack also restored helos and gliders. Ever notice the Waco glider in the AFM :idea: Or the nice R-4s that the Army and Navy had :idea: his whole heli collection is now on loan to Evergreen.

Cool pics!

Could one of the SNJs been an SNJ-6? The one parked next
to the Wildcat in the 1st picture has a later model rear hood
(T-6F / SNJ-6 or later), and I can see "69C" as part of the
N number. Naturally, it could be an SNJ-5 with a retro-fitted /
later model rear hood.... :)

FWIW, there is an SNJ-6 (BuNo 112269) N269CB on the FAA
registry....

N-number : N269CB
Aircraft Serial Number : 112269
Aircraft Manufacturer : NORTH AMERICAN
Model : SNJ-6 Engine Manufacturer : P&W
Model : R1340 SERIES Aircraft Year : 1945
Owner Name : LESSMAN ROBERT J
Owner Address : 2346 CORK CIR SACRAMENTO, CA, 95822-3624
Type of Owner : Individual Registration Date : 06-Apr-1990
Airworthiness Certificate Type : Standard Approved Operations : Normal

What a shame! :cry:

Truly a shame to loose such a pilot. Where are the remains of the aircraft now?
