Yes I know that C&P have O-47 Serial#39-098, I also know that POF is listed as having two O-47 Serial#38-284 which was used in Flight of the Phoenix which was damaged in an accident at Porterville and they own Serial#38-295 which was being used for parts to restored there other O-47. So do they still own this one or is this the one that Aero Dyn has?


POF has the remains of the one that bellied in and burned as well as the (Florida?) swamp recovery that has been undergoing a slow restoration. I haven't seen much activity on the restoration in years.

Per AAIR, it was in a swamp near Camp Davis, NC on July 29, 1943 - belly landing due to engine failure. Wonder if the accident report has photos?
