| Albert Dyer Batavia, IL | Hi, my dad owned two pt-26's between 1952 and 1963. His name was william dyer. One N number was N7819H. I don't know the other. Can who ever owns a -26 check the records to see if it is one of the two my dad owned? Also, I would like to know the differences betweeen the three models.
thanks, albert dyer 11/10/2005 @ 17:43 [ref: 11664] |
