Attn shoppers: Four Las Vegas trainers IDed

Post by Chris Brame »

Dated June 25, 1944. And it only costs an arm and a leg, plus maybe a kidney:

42-5269/Z93 (ex-Hobbs AAF; note where nose and fin numbers are painted over):

42-37926/Z79 (went to Hobbs May '45 per Osborne, correct?):

note: eBay photo links didn't work this time (?!), so I cropped the individual planes and stuck 'em in Flickr.

Great find - Las Vegas AAF ships are hard to find, finding 4 at once is a treasure.

Even the background numbers Z117, Z65 etc are good additions

1,750 is a bit steep - by about $ 1,700. Send him a e-mail offering him 50.00 and see what he has to say
