  • N9078E - 78E at a duster strip near Davis,Ca. - by S B J by S B J
  • N9078E - 78E & Champ 93E doing 360s (8K feet level) to gain altitude needed to get over the Sierras. Aeroncas are very good planes, but with 65hp, they are not eager climbers. There was not any lift from Mother Nature so the Aeroncas had to do it on their own. - by S B J by S B J
  • N9078E - 78E flys south in the Calif central valley.In the distance to the west is seen Mt Diablo (3865 ft)which is the most prominent landmark and can be seen for a hundred miles.On VFR days it made navigation easy. - by S B J by S B J
  • N9078E - 78E after landing on private strip (now closed due in part to a fatal C150 crash) in central calif. around 1994. There were many strips like this in the Mt Hamilton area,most of which are now closed.This strip is now part of Henry Coe state park. - by S B J by S B J
  • N9078E - The view from 78E. Pretty tall mountains when you only have 65hp up front. The high peaks are around 12 thousand feet.With (abundance of) patience,a good Chief will take you any place you care to go.Must be why they have a 5 hour fuel supply. - by S B J by S B J
