The Fletcher  FU 25 is a small--2696 # gross weight--single engine counter-insurgency aircraft. Built by the Fletcher Aircraft company and designed by John Thorp, there were 15 built in the 1950s. Equipped with two .30 caliber machine guns and wing hard points and pylons adaptable for bombs, rockets and napalm, the FU-25 (Thorp design T-15) is powered by a 250 horsepower version of Continental's six cylinder E-225 engine. The only flying FU-25 in the world is owned by Phil Esdaile, partner in Utility Aircraft Click Here of Woodland, California, who flew it to OSH. It was displayed all week long at the Pacific Aerospace Limited (PAL) exhibit site.
Esdaile, an intrepid Kiwi who with partner Ray Ferrell convinced PAL to build the world's premier sky diving airplane, the PAL 750 XSTOL  told Ells Aviation that his FU 25 is for sale and that all documentation, drawings, spares and manuals are included in the sale price.
So if you have a yearning for an airplane that's not only unique and in good flying condition, give Esdaile a call. Why shouldn't you be the only pilot at your airport to own your very own counter insurgency warbird. There's only one catch--the machine guns were removed a long time back.  But you don't have to tell !
