I'd be very interested if you had the tail number, or even part of the tail number of the one that had the fuel selector stick between tanks.

FYI the Beavers were all from about 1952-56 or so. The design was old-fashioned so most people thought they were older.

The one in the midair was 53-3724 but we also had 54-1724 so both were called "724"

It was sometimes hard to figure the age from the tail number because some paint jobs led the number with a "0" for each decade old. Some did not.
