Can someone that lives near Wright-Patterson AFB verify the "wing-spar number" of this aircraft? P-63E/43-11728 was donated to the AF Museum disassembled as NX41963. It was also one of two samples converted by Bell Aircraft circa 1948 with an aft cockpit. This sample was dissasambled by Bell circa 1954 and the possibility exist that parts of the second sample (poss wings) were mixed during the donation deal in Jan 1958. If someone can photograph the exterior ID data plates of the R/S will be appreciated. P-63E Buff.
