N9078E, 1946 Aeronca 11AC Chief C/N 11AC-710, 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.

  • N9078E @ Q59 - 78E in slip configuration. The slip is something the chief is extremly good at. It has excellent rudder and aileron control. - by S B J by S B J @ Q59
  • N9078E @ Q59 - 78E doing a fly by in 1978.78E spent many hours flying in & around the mts seen in the distance, landing on many dirt runways there-some easy-some not.Fantastic time back then!! I for one sure miss those days. - by S B J by S B J @ Q59
  • N9078E - 78E with a quick stop at Big Flat on the Northern California coast in 1986. - 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 @ TCY - 78E at Tracy,Ca being prepared for painting in 1985. Note-the C172 54L & C150 02X (my 150 at the time) seen in pic are now both residing in Florida.Amazing how planes move around. - by S B J by S B J @ TCY
