Hey Judy,
Just wanted to let you know I soloed a friend’s son in his family’s Aeronca C3. He did a great job. His grandfather purchased this plane from the factory in 1931. Here are some pictures!

I got to do it cause there aren’t many instructors around that have flown one before! I am surely very fortunate.

I’m convinced Lorraine has the coolest friends. Here she is flying another friend’s C-3 last August.
“I got to hang out with a friend of ours and fly some of his cool old planes in August. I got to fly a PT23 and an Aeronca C3.”

Posted at 19:32h, 25 JuneThis is really neat. I’ve loved Aeronca’s all my life. I soloed my youngest daughter and her friend when they were 16. It was in my 1937 Aeronca K which immediatelly followed the C-3 series. It is especially neat this C-3’s been in the family since new.
