Ranger Airfield is now home to a unique piece of history. A 1946 J-3. The plane, which was full of life for a short three years, has not flown in 59 years.
NC7057H was purchased by Charles Moseley of Coleman County in late '46. The plane, assembled in Lock Haven, PA, took a 30 minute test flight and was then flown to Fort Worth in Oct. 46. The trip to Meacham took 14.5 hours. For three years Moseley and his daughter Charlotte flew the aircraft 182 hours, bringing the total airframe time to 197 hours. For some reason in 1950, the plane was pushed into the hangar on their farm after a flight and would wait there to see daylight again on Jan. 18 2009.


A 25 ft. Mesquite tree blocked the hangar doors











Incroyable, non ?
