N77RF

This airframe, registered as N77RF, is a 1931 production example of the Great Lakes 2T-1A Sport Trainer, serial number 260. It is owned by the corporation EAA Aviation Foundation Inc, located in Oshkosh, WI, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe retains a period trainer/display configuration and is associated with the EAA’s home base in Oshkosh; valuation and detailed condition notes are not published.

The aircraft is outfitted in a two-seat tandem open cockpit (period trainer/display configuration), consistent with its historical role as a primary trainer and display piece. Specifics on avionics fit, modern equipment, or modifications are not published, so current instrumentation for operations is not detailed in the available record. Operated from its owner’s base in Oshkosh, WI, US, the airframe is typically presented and utilized in contexts appropriate to vintage sport trainers and museum foundation operations. Routine maintenance considerations and logbook status are not published for this individual airframe.

The Great Lakes 2T-1A Sport Trainer represented a fixed-wing single-engine two-seat trainer in its era; this particular airframe’s cruise speed of 84 kts and service ceiling of 12,467 ft illustrate modest cross-country capability coupled with the short-field and low-speed handling expected of period sport trainers. As a historic airframe owned by a major aviation foundation, its market role is primarily archival, display, and demonstration rather than regular commercial charter, and resale considerations are governed by collector and museum demand rather than typical light-aircraft market dynamics. Specific comparative models, buyer demand metrics, and detailed maintenance or resale valuations for this airframe are not published.
