Here's a plane you want

[bflynn]

Forget about the top 5 planes you want...here's a 1931 Curtiss-Wright...two names that are among the first six pilot certificates issued in the US.

The Curtiss-Wright corporation was founded in 1929 after 2+ decades of fights over patents. This is one of the first airplanes they made.

I have no relation to the seller

So, how was CW able to use the name Travel Air, since the Travel Air company (Cessna/Steerman/Beech) already existed?

CW bought Travel Air in 1930.

Will you buy one or both of them for me?

We should just band together and do an airplane-sharing arrangement.. With pilots from NC to AR, what could possibly go wrong or be inconvenient??

I like Grummans a lot, but no thanks.

Not into flying airplanes that are older than me.
