Post by Kim Purcell Β» Fri Feb 10, am. Privacy Terms. Quick links. While searching through there, I stumbled upon a picture of a derelict B sitting in the edge of a field that someone had taken.
I am absolutely crazy about s, and hate to see things rot away neglected, so my wheels started turning. Has anybody in the San Joaquin Valley area seen this airplane before? Is there any history behind it? It appears to be a model based on the rounded rear window and pressure cowl.
I looked up aircraft registered in Merced County California and see that there is a registered there, NC. The airplane appears to have lady legs installed.
Supposing that the airplane is not riddled with corrosion and is available to be removed from its current resting place, how wide do those gear sit, from outside tire wall to outside tire wall? The most efficient way to bring this home, in my mind is to go rent a Penske Truck and disassemble it on the spot and make the trek home.
The inside of the foot truck is published as being 7' 8" wide. This seems like it would be a very tight squeeze, even without the lady legs. The other option would be to see if a friend's dad, who is a truck driver, has a remotely deadhead journey back east from California. I would hope that would fit in a tractor trailer. If I have to trailer it back on a flatbed trailer hopefully not needed , does anybody know if there are any permits required to do this?
