Collection? COLLECTION? I can’t afford a collection. The Rearwin has all but broke me.

Someone ought to buy that Funk though, it needs a good home.

Melv

Well Ok then………….

Since it seems everyone given up.

The Last Two are the following.

The Military Cockpit is a North American/Ryan L-17A. This is owned by a good friend of mine this is her second Navion what makes this a special airframe is it never enter Civilian Life after serving with the US Army in the Far East and it looks like it has a Korean War History, it went to a Tech School were it sat till she bought it about six years ago. I was working on the Cockpit one day and deciede to hook up a Battery and see if the old Loop Radio Beckon work and lo and beho I got some local short wave stuff.

The last one is a Funk 850 this was taken at Twitchels Air Park in Turner Maine I had happen to stop in for some fuel and a bite to eat when someone told me their was an old plane out in one of the old T-Hangers that was for sale so since I like these old Classic Birds I decide to look at her. Well what they were asking was alittle more then I was willing to pay for considering it was out of annual by 20 Years and there was Rings in all of the fabric and the engine was in need of an overhaul. The last time I was over their which was about a month ago its still sitting their but atleast the engine is covered. I’ve told the owner if he ever decides to come down about 5 Grand then I would buy it from him. There were’nt alot Funks build and I think this is the only one here in Maine.
