==========
Note - Somewhat difficult to tie up. All are marked 0-xxxxx on the engine cowling, with the full serial written in small font on the starboard fuselage just behind the cockpit. Only the last 5 digits tie up ... I had to search for the first 2 digits. Below I've provided what's marked on the aircraft, the actual serial, and the c/n in brackets. This was all researched from Joe Baugher's website.

"21292" - being rebuilt inside hangar. Cannot find any ref. to this one.
"80J" - on flatbed truck, being prepared for delivery to Ft. Rucker. This one had flight-training (day-glo orange) markings.
