Wow. And you didn't give your Sac buddy first dibs. Hmmmm
It looks like both aircraft are still available. I went to the auction website and both are listed.
WOW! Serial Number 1......!
WOW! Serial Number 1 on the Sonerai II ......!
I'm not a fan of flying anything with serial #1.....
That T crate isn't your typical BC 12 D.
The Taylor craft air ambulance is a highly sought after War bird, and very collectable aircraft.
Word gets out, they will get the price easy.
Tom-
Is the airframe different in some way?
I have a freshly-restored L-2 that's identical to the one in the picture, including the small writing table behind the rotating aft seat. It's not the litter plane that has a full aft fuse rather than the low-profile version that allows the bubble canopy to be used for observation.
Wayne-
I read somewhere that the observers seat must be disabled per the FAA? Seemed weird, but I guess they didn't want anyone flying facing backwards. I'd love to see that one.
BTW- How is Palm Desert? You're missing the best Golf weather I think I've ever seen in February.
