Anyone know which L-4 this is? The contract was amended "to remove the requirement to have the aircraft in flying condition." It states there is an Attachment A with pictures of the L-4, but I can't find any Attachment A.

If you click on Award, a contract for $37,000 was awarded on September 30, 2010 to:

AMERICAN AERO SERVICES, INC. (828244678)
