• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I stumbled on this last night. This has been a problem with museum airplanes for a while but this pretty much sucks. I don't remember when Curtis donated the prototype S2 to the EAA Museum but apparently someone kept the N number ''alive'' up until 2017 allowing it to go into the FAA dead file after that. One of the N number pirate companies paid the fee on 01/03/2023 and now it's ''available'' from SHORT-N-NUMBERS in Florida for who knows how much.

This has happened a lot over the years but it's obvious someone or several people over time did keep track of this since it's on record that the lack of keeping the N number updated stopped from the EAA Museum in 2017. I'm almost too pissed off to write this.
