N345WP

The airframe bearing tail number N345WP is a 1963 Brantly Brantly B-2B, serial number 334, recorded on the U.S. civil register. The type has been held in corporate ownership by H J AND B J'S FLYING SERVICE INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US; this current ownership entry appears in public registry data for the airframe. The aircraft is registered in the US and carries the two-place certification common to the model. No public record of recent major registry transactions or a published market valuation for this specific serial has been provided.

This specific Brantly B-2B is configured with a 2-place side-by-side cockpit, reflecting the manufacturer's original light rotorcraft layout designed for training, personal transport, and light utility roles. Cabin provisions for the airframe are simple and mission-focused; no bespoke avionics fit or cabin refit for this serial is published in available data. Typical operations for an airframe of this type and configuration include local training flights, short-range cross-country hops, and light aerial work originating from the operator’s base in Wilmington, Delaware. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft would follow legacy Brantly B-2B practices, including attention to rotor-system components and the single Lycoming powerplant; specific maintenance status or modifications for this serial are not published.

The Brantly B-2B family occupies a niche in the light two-seat rotorcraft market as a compact, mechanically straightforward helicopter produced in the early 1960s. It competes historically with contemporaries in the light trainer and personal helicopter segments rather than modern turbine types. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like this serial typically skews to collectors, flight schools and private owners seeking vintage piston-driven rotorcraft; resale and maintenance considerations include parts availability for the airframe and Lycoming piston engine support specific to older certificated models.
