Your photo of N5553N, owned by my Dad--Hank Fischerr and photo taken by my Mother, Mrs. Marjorie Fischer at the Hayward, CA airport back in the '70's, brings me most happy memories! That ol' Howard is the finest plane I have ever had the joy of flying in (countless times!). Dad used to have me operate the flaps during touch n' go's and also trimmed it out on several of our flights over California-- Such fun! Whoever owns 5553November now, take great care of her. You have a beautiful bird and a good chunk of my heart remains in her! Thank you! Happy Flying!
