  • 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 - The difference between the top pic.and bottom (in 1977) is the 15 years that it sat in our garage. My dad never saw 78E fly again. Thanks Dad for the 2K (enjoyable) hours I was fortunate to fly this fine little plane. - by S B J by S B J
  • 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 - 78E at the now closed Eagleville airport that was in NE Calif. The 11 hours I flew 78E this day went well beyond what one would call enjoyable and into near painful territory. - by S B J by S B J
  • N9078E @ 1Q4 - 78E around 2013. - by S B J by S B J @ 1Q4
