I'm getting old. I meant "Baby L-19/O-1". Take a 64/65 model, convert it to TW and mount a Cessna 140's tail feathers (it CAN be done) and the similiarity would be amazing. Yeah, it's only a dream!  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 6,526 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts!

Just about all airplanes at one point or another in their lives, flew. Period.  ...and just about all airplanes, large or small, were deemed beautiful out of the factory, even if they were yellow...... Ducking!  My plane? ...well, it's golden  . | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 14,785 Likes: 545 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

Personally, I dispute this - the Supermarine Spitfire and deHavilland Mosquito were downright beautiful!
