You have an excellent taste in aeroplanes.

I had an Ag Cat just like the one pictured. Built up by the same outfit in ARG. I never got to work a geared 1340. And congratulations on the 1000 mark although the last fifty or so have been you helping me to get pictures on here. Thanks

Nice looking Stag...but I already posted a more BA version of the Stag. BANNED!

Raise you a Tri Motor

Look closer... it is a Ford...

Ah, see you caught it already...

Nevermind

And once again... back at the big Bellanca

AN-2/AN-3 hands done the best all around prop airplane there is. Who cares if it only goes 100kts when it hauls that much.

Another one to add to the pre war list of "bad ass" civilian prop airplanes.
