There I am at the August 1979 Madera, California "Gathering of Warbirds" airshow and I am sitting in a derelict WWII-era Naval Aircraft Factory N3N Navy flight training biplane. It had been sold surplus after its military service and converted into a crop duster and no doubt saw heavy use before it was retired, parted-out, and pushed into the weeds. I just had to climb in and my friend took the picture. View full size.
I did a search and apparently this plane is still registered.
Someone pulled it out of the weeds. According to the FAA registry the plane is still listed in their records and is based in Arkport, NY.
