Sure looks like a fun thing, sort of like strapping on wings and being a Barn Swallow for a while. I wish...... But I am still looking. George |

Photos of the interior, engine and details would be helpful. I was actually in Tucumcari in early August, during one of my trips out to and back from Fort Huachuca, AZ. Part of my mother's family is from New Mexico (Skeen, Hardin, Adamson) Had my pickup truck too so I could have just loaded it on board. Drat! Cheers, Dave |

Cheers, Dave Well Dave, there was no engine, it had been removed some time ago. I took no pics of the interior but did look for a N number anywhere that might have lead me to a builder in the FAA database, but no joy. As I live just east of OKC and I get through New Mexico maybe once every year or so I won't be able to help with any more pics. Sorry. Next time you are out that way, check and see if it is still there, the owner was asking $5,500 but I think that was a pie in the sky sum, more like $550 would be accurate. No engine and some leading edge damage and lots of neglect. Best to you, George Thanks for the heads up George, I'll be heading back to Fort Huachuca in January and will take a look. Can you give me an exact location? Not that Tucumcari is all that big ... Of course my mom's family comes from the area around Pichacho, NM and not only does everyone know each other, just about everyone is married to each other one way or another. I'll keep the group posted. Cheers, Dave |

Cheers, Dave Dave, As best as my memory serves me, it was just a couple of miles east of town, there were some houses, a metal shop (with the plane sitting in front, alongside what looks to be an old luscombe or some such thing) and a mobile home on the east side. The folk in the mobile home are tired of answering questions, don't bother knocking. This was all on the south side of I-40. There was a sign hanging on the gate with the number barely visible and I called the owner. He wasn't much of a source of information but he tried. I will send you the phone number, assuming your e-mail works. George |
