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 @ M45 - 78E at Alpine County airport after crossing the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mts. seen in the background. The reliable Chief, given time, will take you almost anywhere you may want to go. It did for me time after time. - by S B J by S B J @ M45
  • N9078E @ Q59 - 78E on short final at the Fremont airport(Calif) flying over broken cement (was never removed when the airport was built) which discouraged landing short! Over the years,several planes tried without much success like a C150 on 3-1-75. - by S B J by S B J @ Q59
  • 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- 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 by S B J
