Update to July Aircraft part find - w/ photos

[Molewacker]

In July I had started a thread about finding a piece of aircraft -

Through this board and a pilots board, it was discovered to be a canopy lock for a WWII Vultee BT-13A Bomber trainer.

Lucky for me, the Evergreen Air and Space museum in McMinnville Oregon has one (and a lot of other cool stuff)




One of the volunteers let me through the ropes to take a pic with my find and the aircraft which is painted in the colors of the Tuskegee bomber group.

Cool end to the search - HH
