Detailed Description
Our wonderful old 1942 Fairchild PT-23 (M-62C) manufactured by the St Louis Street Car Company for Fairchild during WWII was in great shape when we had to park it around 20+ years ago. She has always been hangared and is still in pretty good shape for her age, but does need some attention. A certified mechanic will be servicing the engine and fuel system in a couple weeks, and we will update listing when complete.
Total time on airframe is 858.5 hours. She had 175.05 hours when purchased by original owner at Cape Girardeau, MO (Harris Field War Assets Administration) on 26 Apr 1946. AAF tail number was 42-49887. Current time on engine (SN 15660) is 441.6 SMOH.
Sale includes the following: all logs & records since purchased from WAA; extra W-670 engine (SN 26288) with 630 hrs SMOH.; extra very low time Sensenich wooden prop and hub assembly; NOS expander tube brake kit; a couple of W-670 parts engines that might come in handy; two speed 120v inertia starter motor; surplus NOS BG spark plugs; AAF W670 tools; a few various instruments; several manuals (Complete AAF Fairchild PT Dash 1, 2, & 3, Continental R-670 & W670 Operating, Parts, & Overhaul manuals), and more.
She's a rare jewel and an absolute delight to fly!
