This beautiful 1946 Beechcraft G17S Staggerwing holds the distinction of being the very last Staggerwing that Beech built of a long series of the Model 17 that numbered 785 in total from 1932 to 1946. In wonderful appearance and condition, N80321 rightly holds bragging rights and was an SZP visitor to the airport's 75th Anniversary Airshow Fly-In when I photographed it in August 2005. |
