My partner and I bought all three airplanes from Aaron Morse in 1990. Two S-1T's, 49332 and 49333, and one S-2B, 49335. There never were five airplanes, I think Aaron had plans for it but never did it. My partner, myself, and Delmar Benjamin ferried all three airplanes to Spokane, Washington. We sold the B to a local guy, and he campaigned it to airshows for about three years. He managed to have a prop strike that he never addressed properly and sometime later the flange came apart. He busted it up pretty good, trying to get back on the ground. The wreck was sold to another local guy, and he rebuilt the airplane and used it for contests.
The blue T, 49332, was sold to another local guy, and I kept 49333. Along with another S-2B we formed an airshow team called the Sky Blues Brothers. I also flew solo performances at a north Idaho theme park called Silverwood.
About 2000, I recovered 49333 and I ferried 49332 to the factory to be recovered. Around 2005, 49332 was sold to Bobby Powell, and 49333 was sold to Jacquie Warda, she later changed the N number to 77MN. Jacquie flew airshows for several years until someone replaced the prop seal, and it came loose over the high desert of Oregon. The airplane was totaled, but Jacquie walked away. After I sold 49333, the owner of the B, 49335 had an Extra and was flying contests, so I took 49335 for a few years, until I eventually bought an S-2S.
49332 is now owned by a lady in Arizona, 49335 is owned by a guy on the Washington coast, and 49333 is no more. Now you know the rest of the story. I have lots of pictures, tell me what you want to see.
Here is the B after rebuild, with me flying it. It was the smoothest running 540 I have ever flown.
