  • N9078E @ 1Q4 - 78E pictured with my dad (his last plane),sisters and me at an airport near Tracy,Calif. in 1960. As of 2014, I still own & fly 78E.It has been a fantastic relationship!! - by S B J by S B J @ 1Q4
  • 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
