1953 Learning to fly
George- Is this you and your plane in the attached you tube clip? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFFRS8A0rpQ
Re: 1953 Learning to fly
Well, I noticed that the underwing registration does indeed have a "N" and is followed by a "46" (the rest being undeterminable)... but my airplane left the factory with "YS-146" as it was registered in El Salvador.
(And besides... my airplane has dual landing/taxi lights and a baggage door.)

Well, I was going to say it looks like N4627C,, now owned by WALLE EDWARD A JR of Pullman, Michigan..
Re: 1953 Learning to fly
It is N4627C and owned by Edward since 2002, but isn't listed in the Association directory. Larry could you look him up .Green Bean wrote:Well, I was going to say it looks like N4627C,, now owned by WALLE EDWARD A JR of Pullman, Michigan..

Some of the same footage is in the following youtube clip, "The Flying Businessman." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGEgJ2ZOTRY The clarity is much better.
The red and white 170B used is N4627C, clearly readable on the tail. Its nice to see these birds in their prime -- although we all know that many are now better than ever.
