: Hi Cees,
:
: Yes, you read it right, a B model. Unfortunately as I age
: the details dim, but I recall #41-5920 going down into a
: Carolina swamp during a training flight. Randy and friend
: s found her and pulled the remains out in the late '90's.
: The very small role I played in all this was to connect R
: andy with an aviation writer--to get an article published
: and get his project some exposure.
:
: Again, from what I recall e-mailing with Mr. Ferris, the w
: ings were quite intact, but the fuselage had received some
: fire damage.
:
: Sorry I don't have more info for you (and if I ever get my
: hands on the pencil-necked twerp that created the virus t
: hat killed my computer...).
:
: Ah well, weekend's here, best to all,
: Dan
