Aircraft N9078E Photo

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.
