: I have two questions concerning this aircraft.
:
: 1. When did Max Chapman acquire this aircraft?

I am thinking it was in 95, but I can't remember for sure.
:
: 2. Who converted the aircraft to TF-51 configuration?
: 2a. Was it Mr. Chapman?

Fort Wayne Air Service did the majority of the work. I think Cal Pacific did the fuselage conversion. The work was done for Chapman. I believe when he bought it was still North American Maid.
