KR> KR-2 N147S - For Sale and looking for information

2008-11-16 Thread Michael Porter
I've recently joined the KRnet after our non-profit organization received a donation of a KR-2 (N147S serial number 2079). I'm told this particular KR-2 won first prize at Oshkosh some years back. The plane has a Continental O-200 on it. The Hobbs meter shows just under 600 hours, but I don't know

I'm missing something guys. The link I copied onto my query email was for a KR2 I saw listed on E-bay. I didn't see any video, only 21 still photos of a fairly nice looking KR2. Did you guys see a video of this same airplane (N5424N) somewhere? If so send me a link. The bidding has closed

It's not much, but there's a story of flying to Corvair college at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flights/cc12/ . It was an interesting flight, and a great excuse to get together with old friends and make some new ones. Thanks again to Ed Fisher for hosting us... Mark Langford, Huntsville,
