Fairchild Club Forum

'Any Member that happens to be at Oshkosh, and happens to check the
Yahoo group back here to see what's happening. I have a small
request! I've never been to the meet, but I understand they
have "Type Tents",or something of that sort. If anyone happens to
spy a nice set of the control stick Knobs (could be bak-e-lite) that
was a for the Fairchild, Please... send me a short little e-mail.
Thank you...Have fun!
Tom'

'Hi Tom,
I went and just got back today, saturday. There were 5 F-24's that I saw. Ed
Wegners beautiful red F-24R, my own, Dan Michaels F-24R, Marco's F-24R and a
F-24W from Tucson (sorry, i forgot your name...)

Type Club tent was well supported, again ( and for the final time by him ) by
club president John Berndt.

sorry, didn't see any stick knobs....

'Tom and Don,
Not direct from Oshkosh, but the following Fairchild's were reported
at present at Air Venture 2004 by an Air-Britain member on the ab-ix
message board on Saturday (UK) morning:

N81323 R46-223 FAIRCHILD 24R-46
N81361 R46-261 FAIRCHILD 24R-46
N77698 R46-398 FAIRCHILD 24R-46
N77618 W46-318 FAIRCHILD 24W-46

N58749 FH842 T42-4191 FAIRCHILD M-62A-3 (all the way from
Schellville, CA)

N49071 "435310" T43-5310 FAIRCHILD M-62B
(not, of course, a Scarab-powered M-62B - I doubt there are any
left, actually a PT-19B, ex USAAF serial 42-82723).

The bracketed comments are mine.

Don reports four F.24R's which means our man has missed one, can
anyone fill in?

Hope this helps, Tony Broadhurst'

'Thank you Don,
I thought it could be yours he had missed. I will add it to the
list.
Did any of the Fairchild's get an adward this year. The PT-26 from
California looks good from the photos I have seen.

'With that low N812XX number your ship must be a build date of 3/46?
What is the build date on the dataplate?
