I have in my hangar a complete OE-2 aircraft with a zero time engine and some extra parts. The owner would like it to be
refurbished in Marine colors and in great flying condition and shown as a flying museum piece. This may be the only flyable
OE-2 of the twenty five original Marine models.
Any individual or set of individuals interested in preserving this remarkable aircraft.???
Thanks Gideon Jones
