| Orin Seybert Anchorage, AK | At the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage we have a Norseman owned by Jim Magoffin, Interior Airways in Fairbanks. It is complete and intact, we just have to recover and restore it.
We need a set of landing gear shock struts for it. Any ideas on where we could buy/borrow/steal a set? Thanks, Orin Seybert (907) 243-7701 08/16/2006 @ 15:29 [ref: 13905] |
| Tim Garcia , IN | I am trying to find the color scheme or drawings or photos and any information on the uc-64 that carried Glenn Miller. I would appreciate reference information to help me accurately depict this aircraft in a 1/48 scale model. My search thus far has only found an alleged tail number, 44-70285. I need colors, paint scheme, etc. Please help if you can. Thanks... 07/09/2006 @ 08:46 [ref: 13687] |
| Arno van der Holst Lelystad, OTH | Hello Norseman friends!
We, The Dutch Aviation Museum 'Aviodrome' are restoring a Noorduyn Norseman (44-70509). We found wartime items in it, so we think it was used in France from early '45 to the end of the War. If you have any information about the use of the Norseman in France, please share it with us. Thanks and best regards, Arno van der Holst 06/18/2006 @ 06:22 [ref: 13540] |

| Scott Compton Keewatin, ON | I am the owner of Noorduyn UC-64A Norseman (Mark VI), formerly USAAF 44-70270, now Canadian registerred as C-FLZO. The aircraft is undergoing total rebuild (March 19, 2002) and will be returned to USAAF livery upon completion. Any USAAF photos and marking colour descriptions would be greatly appreciated.
