I sure do like that '39 WACO. :drink3:
Too bad I wouldn't be allowed to fly it even if I could afford it. :(

That Spartan looks like the one that was at Reno last year.

Same shiny skin and similar trim color but two different Spartans. Serial number 11 has made a couple trips to Reno. Serial number 12 (NC17613) in Ohio is the one to be auctioned and doesn't make it out much. Number 12 did fly in the AAF during WW2 stateside. HOPEFULLY it will find a nice new owner and get out and about.

(Shameless plug... Spartan Executive survivors listed on my web site... http://www.flytoanothertime.com - click on Spartan Executive on the main page.)

The modified Ryan is a good looking ship along with the Waco! Anyone ready to purchase a museum quality collection in one day!?

Spartan sold for $345k. Sounds like it will stay in that local area for now.
