7 |
Stinson Voyager N6212M, 108-3 cn 108-4212, 1948, needing a little attention! Has Tunnell Conversion with Lycoming O-435-1. Our family sold many conversion kits in the 1960's with government surplus engines we had bought. The Hartzell controllable prop has an interesting twist! |
8 |

19 |
Russian AN-2. It's been sitting there since at least 2004 and isn't getting any prettier. Before long the fabric will be blowing in the wind. I can't find any numbers. Maybe it's N87AN, I'm not sure. |
20 |
Cessna 140 N89601, cn 8648, 1946. No geat extensions, so go easy on the brakes! |

22 |
Cessna 170 N2649V, 170 cn 18159, 1948, was built as fabric wing, now metalized. It appears to have a Franklin engine. With that straight-170 vertical tail, you might think its a 140, at first glance. |

26 |
Cessna 172 N8352X, 172C cn 17248852, 1961. These are a good flyer, with the swept tail and full fuselage. I suspect it has the original paint. |
27 |
Piper Super Cruiser N98906, PA-12 cn 12-251, 1946. |
28 |
Piper Tri-Pacer N2918P, PA-22-150 cn 22-3186, 1955 and about as stock as you can get |

46 |
Cessnas 170 N9224A, 170A cn 19369, 1950. Spectacular! Note that the flaps are smaller than the 170B. |
47 |
Cessna 140 N81074, 170 cn 10368, 1946, FAA says a Lycoming O-290 but the exhaust doesn't look like it so I'm not sure. |

49 |
Twin Beech, Beech 18 N11DA, built as USAF C-45G cn AF-408, 1953, converted to Volpar tri-gear with Tradewinds single tail conversion and a cargo door. It has had some lower skins off since I first saw it in 2004. |

Okay, we'll head back toward Lake Hood Inn, and stop at Gwennies on our way back. It's culture is sort of between the city and the bush. |
