| I believe that this is the aircraft that I first flew out of a grass strip in Allison, Iowa on July 30, 1959 and last flew out of the same airport on August 16, 1978. Between those flights I logged somewhere over 100 hours in the aircraft, including a couple of harrowing experiences. I would enjoy hearing from the current owner to learn if this is, indeed, the airplane I flew and to hear of it's subsequent history. | |
