I have broken up the grouped years in the Timeline and added them into their own years. This is in anticipation of additional material to be added soon.
Recently I accessed the considerable resources of the staff at Library and Archives Canada (LAC, the federal government), which houses a treasure trove of information. A staff member pointed out the location of a series of aircraft accident cards for the years 1949 to 1977. I accessed these and found many Stearman and TBM Avenger cards that detailed accidents, some of which I had not yet heard of. These ranged from minor to serious.
The first cards can be seen in the year 1952, where I have been able to identify the Central Stearman that crashed: N1316N #18!
More to come.
Hi Chris,
I’m the owner of Stearman 75-1653 alias 41-8094 alias N64926 and now F-AZCK in France.
I discovered yesterday through Your fabulous website that she was in new Brunswick in 1966:
#88 N64926 1427829442_camera_ios7_ios_7 Roane Flying Service, Jeanerette, Louisiana [Don McKnight image]
I wanted to download the picture, but could’nt.
If You know how to do this or have a mean to contact Don McKnight, I will love it!
I’m looking for photos from the post war Years of this Stearman and haven’t anyone.
I’m also interested for any document You could have.
I have the FAA documents home with the modifications made by Roane Flying service with a Wasp Jr engine, many photos form now and military years also if You are interested in.
I thank You very much.
