A post-war Taylorcraft - I understand the Army Air Corps used these as trainers. This one was subsequently flown to the Midwest by a friend. |

Rev. Paul,
Nice looking planes. Are you out shopping?
Sadly, no, Sandy. But I love to look!
I would LOVE a nice Super Cub. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be up in Alaska these days.
