This weekend was the semi-annual big swap meet and I have a couple of good stories for ya...
Not much as far as T/A stuff. Infact I only spent about $10 there...
So... I spotted a white IROC Firebird nose (he was asking $550). The seller was at the IROC auction and had bought a few things (a carb, odds and ends) And then he told me about the 1/24 Action Prototype he bought! He said there were a handful of each of the Action cars that had been sent to IROC for approval. He said they were going for big $... so you better keep your eyes peeled.
My favorite find was press-release/ promotional paper work for the Curtiss-Wright X-19 VTOL that never made it into production. 2 were built and only one survives (I saw it at the NMUSAF this past august). Apparently the guys neighbor (old lady) was just throwing all of it away... The guy also says he has lots of plans/ blueprints of the Curtiss-Wright engine plant, the X-19, and Caldwell airport... ;D I'll be giving him a call on Monday. I'm hoping I can get it cheap. he saved it because it was too nice to trash, but he dosent really want the stuff.
So... those were the fun stories. Not many T/A's there
