03/31/2022. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This aircraft was built by Vultee in 1944 for the USAAF under the serial 42-90360, after WW II the aircraft came on the civil register as N55325, by April 1, 1954 it had been registered to Russell D, Greenleaf of Jacksonville, Alabama.

However, at an airshow in Panama City, Florida in 1950, the aircraft was spotted already converted into a biplane. It had structural enforcements around the canopy and on the top was fitted an additional wing (reportedly from a Stearman) of smaller span and chord, supported by N-struts. The additional wing had no ailerons, but it had flaps that were mechanically linked to the flaps on the lower wing. A hopper had been installed in the rear of the cockpit.

Remarks by Pierre Bregerie: "While I received my advanced training at Craig AFB in the TP-51D, I visited the small airfield of Selma, where this awkward sesquiplane conversion of the BT-13 was parked. I'm the man in the black suit looking at the BT-13 designation on the rear fuselage. The text on the fuselage side reads 'DUSPRAY SEEDER'."
