Fairchild 21 and 26. (200 hp Ranger engines)


Not a Fairchild 21.
Bad fingers! Bad brain!

I'll ask around, see if they've bumped into your problem before.

1943 PT-19A (Engine: Ranger, inline inverted 6 cylinder 175/200HP)

Greg caught the "vintage bug" as a child who attended antique fly-ins with
his father in Ottumwa, Iowa. For his high school graduation gift, Greg
received flying lessons-he earned his pilot's license within two months. But
his fever skyrocketed in 1992 when he took a ride in a friend's Fairchild
PT-19. The following year, Greg purchased a PT-26. One PT-19 and PT-23
later, he had a full set of Fairchild trainers. That was just the beginning.
Greg wanted to give the Golden Age the recognition it deserved: "It was a
fabulous time with literally hundreds of models being built. Unfortunately,
you see very few of them."

His planes are housed at the Golden Wings Museum (www.golden
wingsmuseum.com) at Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis. On the
roster is a 1937 Fleetwings Seabird, a stainless steel plane-one of five
ever made-that Howard Hughes flew for three months. His 1927 Fairchild
FC-2-WS (which he dubbed "the predecessor to the space shuttle") was the
first plane that NACA (now NASA) owned.
