136781	N475AM	Pacific Coast Air Museum, Santa Rosa, CA	C-1A	The Pacific Coast Air Museum became the owner of this aircraft on 8-13-2014. It is assumed Mr. Doyle donated the aircraft to the Museum as noted below. DDJ 2-17-2019 Information obtained from William Wilemon this C-1A is now being operated by the owner, Duane Doyle, out of the Santa Rosa, CA Charles Schultz Airport and will be donated to the Pacific Coast Air Museum at the same location. In theory the Trader will be kept in flying condition but it will remain to be seen how long that lasts until the Museum takes it out of service due to the high costs of flight operation. However, at this point the Museum has made a video to promote it for airshows on the west coast.

146044	N189G	Trader Air, Inc., Topeka, KS	C-1A	"Miss Belle" last flew August 2002 and crash landed due to engine failure. It is being rebuilt as shown in the 2005 photo posted on Airliners below. Owner Doug Goss plans to have "Miss Belle" flying again in 2013. A January 2013 update from Crew Member Robert Eichkorn: "We have hung the right (#2) engine back on the C-1A and are currently plumbing it out. Following that, we will be pulling the left engine/mount off and building up the QEC for that side. We have both engines back from Anderson Aeromotive (zero-timed) and both replacement props back from Maxwell Propeller (overhauled). Our first airshow is now booked for mid-June (Thunder Over Michigan – Ypsilanti, MI) and we are also planning to spend the week at Oshkosh in July."

146052	N81193	Current owner: Jason Barnett Formerly owned by the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame (Lone Star Flight Museum), Galveston, TX	C-1A	This aircraft still shows a valid registration even though it was sold to Mr. Barnett for use as a trailer. DDJ 2-17-2019 Owner Jason Barnett uses the trailer to transport his artwork around the country. John Palmer of Houston, TX informed my that the fuselage of 146052 was on a trailer and was seen by him at an outside antique festival. The aircraft is still registered with the FAA with the Lone Star Flight Museum as the owner. DDJ 10-30-2017 See my Trader Photo Page I was able to visit the Lone Star Flight Museum in March of 2009 and the situation with this Trader is not pretty. Unfortunately, 146052 went under water during Hurricane Ike in September 2008. The Director of Maintenance for the Museum told me that the estimated repair of the saltwater damage to make it airworthy, which he estimated at $500,000, was not cost effective. Currently a C-1A can be purchased for $75,000. The fate of 146052 is yet undetermined. Hopefully it will at least be maintained as a static aircraft. Several other aircraft, including a rare Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon and a Consolidated PBY went under about 7 feet of water also. I was able to take many photos of the Trader, which are linked below.

146034	C-1A	The Harold F. Pitcairn Wings of Freedom Museum, Horsham, PA	This Tracker was moved into the Museum some time in late 2007. Information obtained from John Benton 146034 was indeed restored and is now back on display. John provides this history on the aircraft: The C-1A at the museum was the 64th of the 87 built. It is Bureau number (serial#) 146034. It was last flown in March 1987, and placed on permanent display near the northeast corner of the base the following month. #146034 accumulated 15,502 hours of flight time, making a total of 2439 arrested landings and 714 catapult assisted launches from aircraft carriers. #146034 was operated by a number of squadrons and ships, including VR-24 from NAF Sigonella, Italy, VRC-40 from NAS Norfolk, VA. It's last assignment was aboard the USS Independence. The aircraft was one of three C-1A's operated from NAS Willow Grove by the Independence's COD Crew while that ship was receiving its last major overhaul at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyards. John has also provided a photo of the engine start of 146034 and the other two Traders at Willow Grove for their last flight in 1987. John is unsure which aircraft is 146034 as all have the nose marking 62 for the USS Independence. See my Trader Photo Page John Benton 1987 Photo - 1987 The Harold F.

146029	TF-1(C-1A)	Kissimmee Gateway Airport, FL	On July 21, 2021, I was was able to see 146029 for the first time, as it was previously stored in Tom Reilly's former hangar at the Kissimmee Gateway airport. I was told at Warbird Adventures that it had a broken spar. The Trader looks to be in very good condition, indicating it has not set outside very long. With a broken spar, it is unlikely it will ever fly again. However, it would make an excellent static display in a museum. See my Trader Photo page for the photo. DDJ 7-27-2021. This aircraft was deregistered on 10-31-2013. It is being moved from the Registered category to the Storage category. The registration number on it was N6192F. DDJ 2-17-2019. FAA Records as of 5-18-2013 still show Dennis Callahan as the owner with an expired registration. DDJ 5-18-2013 In April of 2009 I spoke with Tom Reilly, who is the owner of Vintage Aircraft, and used to own the Flying Tigers Restoration Museum at the Kissimmee, FL Airport. He informed me that 136534 is now owned by Tom Blair and it is now in the hangar that previously housed Tom Reilly's operation in Kissimmee. None of the photos show the N-number on the aircraft.
