| Ascher Ward Van Nuys, California | My name is Ascher Ward and I have been an entrepreneur in the field of rare aircraft for the past 50years. I am writing to you because I have two extremely unique airplanes that may be of interest to you and your museum. I have a Sipa Jet 200 which I have owned for the past 12 years. It is the first civillian turbojet to enter production for general aviation. This aircraft can be verified by the Smithsonian. Of the seven aircraft only two remain, mine and one in France which is also owned by a private collector and is not for sale. Sipa had hoped to also reach the military market as a trainer or a liason aircraft. The second aircraft I have is a full scale replica of the original Boeing P12. There are no originals left in existence and this replica is the only example of this plane. It was built by the late Thomas Crowder approximately 20 years ago. It was built from copies of the original engineering drawings held in the archives at the Smithsonian. The aircraft has an early 1340 Pratt Whittney engine this is the same that is in the original P12. I have done many trades with the United States Air force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The museum director at that time was Colonel Richard Upstrom. I acquired rare airplanes which the museum needed for their collection. For example: DeHavilland mosquito, DeHavilland Repedie, Northrup c-125, Lockheed Loadstar Fokker D-7 (original) this aircraft belonged to the late Cole Palen. Ryan STA (Air Force version) Fairchild C-82 (Packet), Mig 21, Lockheed F-104 which is on display at the entrance to the museum mounted on a pole. There were countless other aircraft which went across the country to various other Air Force Museums under "The Heritage Program". The aircrafts were exchanged for other aircraft which was surpluss to their needs, and of interest to me. The exchange was then made. I will provide photos on request. Should you have an interest in a purchase or an exchange, for an aircraft or aircrafts which are surpluss to you, perhaps we can work out a favorable exchange. Sincerely, Ascher Ward 02/03/2005 @ 01:16 [ref: 3778] |

| John Vogel , California | Mather AFB, and the Silver Wings Museum, closed in 93. Mather has since become a regional airport, and the F-105 was, recently, rededicated as a display at the miliatry hospital near the airport. The F-4 was removed several years ago, and is now on display at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA. 06/11/2000 @ 22:27 [ref: 187] |
