This aircraft along with N4198D are being sold by Dee in copper center AK as projects/parts.  Both planes are claimed bo be complete by Dee.  Would be nice if one or both of them were put back into the air.  Currently listed on barnstormers for 49,000.  I assume that is each and not for both of them.

Tried to stop in and view them a few months ago when I was flying through the area, but weather was turning sour and I didn't want to get stuck so I didn't land.

I emailed him twice a while back about 98D after it got run into but never heard back.

I just found that N5071B c/n 1268 and N198D were sold to Perry Linton Norman wells NT.

Anyone know if they will be parted out or if the intent is to put one back in service?
