A few pics of the planes of Fame Valle Museum

POF Valle had a fly-in today. It was well attended by the general public. P-51 Wee Willy and Photo Fanny B-25 were selling rides. The Val also did a ride while we were there. Several good low passes. The planes in the museum were hard to photograph due to the tight fit of the planes but a good place to visit. When Hans Lauridsen gets his Museum going at Williams, there will be two pretty good Museums within twenty miles of each other near I-40 just West of Flagstaff.

It's not. Read the tail markings. Grumman G-32 (two-seat F3F).

Ober, I believe so. It had a small placard just behind the cowl that said GM Special. I didn't see any other Identifying marks or signs. Nice plane though.

Looks like a Cessna Airmaster to me, definitely not a Monocoupe.

Looks like the remains of a KC-97.The remains of the fuselage show the double body.I wonder if you could use the wing on a 29 rebuild?

Definitely a Cessna, note the lack of wing struts. It's the best way to tell.

I believe the wings and engines will be used in the rebuild of Lucky Lady II, the B-50 that flew around the world. They already have the fuselage. Anyone from POF, feel free to chirp in on any of this stuff, especially the classic plane stuff. I'm definitely no expert there!
