| John D. Voss , CA | The AT-17A was identical to the AT-17 other than the fact that it had wooden props. 450 "A" models were procured. 07/30/2007 @ 14:19 [ref: 17357] |
| Chuck Doppler Grand Rapids, MN | Approximately 15 years ago, while dropping off scap metal in a yard at Dickinson, ND, I saw what appeared to be the remains of an aircraft. I removed the ID plate. It shows the aircraft to be a AT-17A SN AC-42-13785, accepted 7-23-42. The ID tag is a US Army Air Corps plate. According to the yard manager, the aircraft had been severely damaged in a wind storm down by Hettinger, ND
Thought I'd relay this info for your records. Chuck Doppler 07/06/2005 @ 08:51 [ref: 10679] |
| Jack Pounds Tipp City, OH | From my reading the only Bobcats with Lycoming were the AT-8 models. All others had the Jacobs. 09/09/2004 @ 21:49 [ref: 8244] |
| Jim Lloyd Katonah, NY | I don't believe this or some of the others had Jacobs engines. The AT-17A definitely had metal props, but I think it had a Lycoming engine 03/13/2004 @ 00:24 [ref: 6967] |
