Re: US registered F24s

[danMichael]

'At the Fairchild forum at Oshkosh, someone asked how many 24s were
registered, and the answer sounded low to me. I looked it up again,
and confirmed that there are 404 Fairchild 24s of all varieties on the
US registry. Of course, who knows how many are flying. And there are
27 Fairchild 22s registered.

You recently mentioned the number of F24's registered.
My research tells me that there are 23 F24R9's
regisrerwd.
I have a F24R9 Std.(that is no flaps or wheel pant's)
Would you possibly know how to check on the number of
F24R9'Std's there are registered, versus Deluxe or
military 24's registered.
Appreciate any info that you might have.

'Harry:

The short answer: I dont know. Sorry.

I retrieved my data from the FAA aircraft database at
. They describe aircraft
by model code, which is akin to type certificate and subtype. This
classification doesnt distinguish between "Standard" and "Deluxe",
which were considered option packages with respect to the type
certificate. If you had another source that told you which serial
numbers were Standards, you could see which ones are still registered.

Although model codes exist for the military variants, no aircraft
appear to be registered under those codes. I assume that all 24s
originally built for the military are classified as their equivalent
civilian models.

Good luck. Perhaps someone has a copy of the factory records?

It would be interesting to take a survey of registered Fairchild
aircraft and learn more about their status. I would be willing to
coordinate this if it were an internet-based project, but to do it
properly, one would have to mail out SASE inquiries, which would cost a
few hundred dollars in postage. Im not willing to finance that effort
at the moment.
