jimmac

Hi I am new here,I am trying to find out what has happened to this aircraft after it moved from Florida to Utah. It seems to have disappeared of the planet,I am building an RC scale model of this plane as my daughter and I had a pleasure flight in it when she was 5 yrs old.At the time we were just visiting Tom Reilly's war bird museum in Kissimmee and our flight happened out of the blue,so we had no camera and got no photo's of her{the plane}.

I am looking for close up photo's to get some detail touches for my model.

Any help would be appreciated this is the last information I have on her.

Thanks Neill,

That photo is on this site as well,it is strange that 3-4 years later they remove the cowl and u/c fairings,they have also repainted her in a more original WACO paint scheme.

John thanks for the info you have uncovered all that I could,I tried to contact the FAA people who deal with Salt Lake City airport to find out if they had maybe heard about a WACO in their area but heard nothing from them.

I can only hope that someone from that area knows something.

Thanks again Jim. :|
