1942 Fairchild PT-23 (M-62C)Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Knoxville, TN, USA

This 1942 Fairchild PT-23 (M-62C), serial number 15660, represents a genuine WWII primary trainer with a fascinating provenance. Manufactured by the St. Louis Street Car Company for Fairchild, it was originally delivered to the AAF with tail number 42-49887 and was purchased by its first owner from Harris Field War Assets Administration in Cape Girardeau, MO on April 26, 1946. The aircraft has been hangared throughout its life and was parked approximately 20 years ago, though it remains in "pretty good shape for her age" according to the owner. The airframe total time is a remarkably low 858.5 hours, with 175.05 hours on the log at the time...
