4
Stinson Voyager N462C, 108-2 cn 108-3462, 1947. It's hard to get a nice photo of dark airplanes like this!

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

18
Piper Super Cub N229T, PA-18-105 Special cn 18-2343, 1953. These were special order for the Army with toe brakes, no flaps, and a Lycoming O-235. It now has flaps, and probably at least an O-320.
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!
21

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

36
Piper Cub Special N4580M, PA-11S cn 11-83, 1947. It's not feeling very special right now.

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.
48
Republic RC-3 Seabee N32264, now called a Simuflight Seattle-1-STOL, cn 248SS, with Lycoming GO-480.
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.
