I want to thank ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST for assisting me in reaching my dream of purchasing my own home. They helped me repair my credit. I am extremely thankful for the professional assistance given me. I was tired of being declined loans due to my old past mistakes, until a realtor recommended their services. In less than 15 days they helped me erase negative items and boosted my score to excellent across all three bureaus. Contact them via ROOTKITSCREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM, don’t forget to mention me.

I strongly recommend 760Plus Credit Score. They really helped me so much, after already paying a con-artist who just took my money and did nothing for over a year, I discovered 760PLUSCREDITSCORE AT GMAIL DOT COM in a credit forum, they immediately showed results and even guided me on what my best solution for my trade in for a new vehicle would be with a lower approximate % and not to mention how well they inform me and explain to me everything that's going on with my credit. Thank you the team at 760Plus.

Hey JL! I’m doing some research on this plane for a writing project and I need to talk to someone who has flying experience. Can we correspond?

I flew N13934 for Abbott Aviation in Challis, Idaho (LLJ) in 1963/1964. It was Powered by an PW R-985 (450 HP). Great short field and load carrying aircraft. We used it in the Idaho back country to supply the many hunting and fishing lodges there. It was also a favorite with the US Forest Service to haul smoke jumpers and supplies to the forest fires. I flew many hunters and fishermen into the back country during those days. It was an easy airplane to fly, sort of like a big super cub. It had a fold up bench along the left side that held 8 passengers and folded up quickly to allow transporting of cargo. It had a small access door on the left side of the cockpit and a large fold up door on the right side of the cabin. Many times I flew cargo into or out of the back country then passengers on the next leg. It was also a favorite of the river guides to get their boats to Indian Creek landing field at the head of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. We could load a 20 man life raft and all its sweeps and gear in the large cabin. The only other competing aircraft around at that time was the Ford Tri-motors operated by Johnson Flying Service at Missoula, Mt. Another interesting thing about N13934 was that it was said to have been one of the aircraft used by Col. Byrd during his expedition to the North Pole. The airplane I flew looked nothing like the one at the museum that wears the same N number. I have many pictures as it was when I was flying it and will share if anyone wants to see them.

Hi,

I have a question you may be able to help with.
Canada's Department of Indian Affairs Annual Report for the year ending 1929 states: " The Royal Canadian Air Force, through the Department of National Defence, after some unexpected incidents, supplied a cabin plane, a new 71 Fairchild WX, with wasp engine. Ontario, through the Department of Lands and Forests, supplied a Baby Moth, O.A.C." Wondering if you could tell me if this plane was built in U.S. or Canada & how many passengers it could accommodate.

Sincerely,
Scott MacNeil
