Hi Paul,
Thanks for the kind words. My first flight, in the Fall of 1947, was in
the back seat of a 7AC, from one grass field to another. However, I
never got to fly one. I did all of my Private Pilot training in a Piper
J-3 Cub, of the same vintage.

I really like the Aeronca. One of my uncles had one of those in the
late '40s and early '50s. He used to land it on a cow pasture on my
Grandfather's dairy farm in Idaho. A bit of a trick, sometimes, with
a power line on one end and a cottonwood grove at the other.

The first thing that caught my eye this morning was the contrasting

Then a breeze from the past brought in a newly restored Aeronca 7AC
from
the late 1940s.
