Me and interesting airplane

[flyguy]

This is my friend's Aeronica K model. Thirty two HP. Recent rebuild. Doesn't quite run yet. I understand there are only 3 around in flying condition in the US. We're working at it. The guy, of course, is me.

Have a little time in one. Patience is a virtue since it takes awhile to decide to fly.

Thanks for posting the picture Darryl. I printed it off and will show it to my 95 yr old father this evening. He soloed in an Aeronca K 77 yrs ago (1937) in Cottonwood, Az.
