L-13 Convair Vultee
This is a rare and interesting airplane. It's wings and tail fold for trailering on its own landing gear. Only 300 of all versions were made. This plane may have been used in the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Tests to ferry people and equipment from the aircraft carrier to the beaches. Aerial Camera is not complete. Seats up to six. Normal cruise speed is 96mph!
