Photo Comment

Though formally registered as a Fairchild M-62C, this is actually a Weatherly WM-62C, converted from a PT-23A (USAAF 42-47786) by Weatherly Aviation for agricultural use. Weatherly converted just 19 PT-19/23/26 airframes, before beginning production of their own design, the Weatherly 201. All of the WM-62C conversions were registered under their original identity as Fairchild M-62s.
