Which King Cobra is this?
Sun Jul 06, 2008 3:58 pm
This is the airplane flown by Maj. Gen. Wilson V. Newhall. the N-number appears to be NX6970# and it sports the race # 65. I am trying to figure out which P-63 this is.

N# is N69702, but no idea which serial.

I have N69702 listed in my notes as MAYBE 43-11725. Do we have a Kingcobra expert out there who can confirm this, and what ultimately happened to it?

I have two other sources that both list this one as 43-11725.
In 1948 it was 8th in the Sohio, and 3rd in the Tinnerman.

N69702's Service ID Number was actually 43-11730, Bell Manufacturer Build Serial Number 33-12
This aircraft has a long history and still exists today.
