N9078E, 1946 Aeronca 11AC Chief, c/n 11AC-710, 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.

N9078E - 78E- Made a quick stop at Eagleville airport (now closed ) in NE Calif. 78E flew over 10 hours this day. It was a long day! Easy to understand (headache around hour 8) how the term airknocker came about. - by S B J
