That and it helped start a downward trend in pilots learning to fly in tailwheel airplanes! Bad Ass indeed!

Beech 18... hands down.
Round engines, taildragger, occasionally seen on floats...
Fun, attention getting, utilitarian, and definitely classy! :nana2:

Due to prior associations with the Twin Beech, I refrained from posting it here... mainly to see how long it would take to be posted :nana2:
I concur!

Now, THIS is an airplane!!!
T...every time we did an engine-out I thought for sure we weren't going to get it cranked back over and were going to have to do an off airport landing. This airplane scares me much more then a higher powered twin.:buck:

In the words of the Russian guy who flies out of our club:
"AN-2 like tractor, can do anything with!"

And I give you with this...
Piper Aztec... 60 gallon internal polyethylene tank + Micronair rotary atomizers + precision guidance system = one bad ass mosquito killing machine!
Bonus points: Can anyone name the airport?

For those that think Bellanca is a new company and only make Citabrias and Decathlons...
The Bellanca Airbus/Aircruiser.
One of the most efficient airplanes ever built.
15 passengers or 2 tons of cargo at 145-155 mph. Outperformed similar class aircraft (namely the Tri-motor)
Powered by a Wright Cyclone 1820 (715hp)

There is a guy in the Waco Club that posts on their forum that is restoring one of these - has pictures posted and everything - cool machine.

4400 miles in 35 hours = 0.08 cent per mile. Can't beat that for efficiency.
