mfg Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 The Fairchild C-82 aircraft that was used in Studebaker's "Avanti Airlift" program indeed still exists.....True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 True…the fuselage only and is owned the Hagerstown, MD based Hagerstown Aviation Museum. The fuselage…AFAIK…is stored at a facility in Wyoming. The Museum hopes to bring the fuselage to Hagerstown and turn it into a classroom/demonstrator on how the aircraft was assembled. No idea what happened to the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 It was at the famous Hawkins & Powers facility at the Greybull airport in Wyoming. Last I saw it, it still had wings on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
