Aeronca Pilot Certificate earned by my father Howard Peyton Green, Jr. at KDAN; probably flying Aeronca (??) plane of which pic already submitted.
|
|
Just FYI, an old pic of my father and his flight instructor from 1947. Solo Certificate is from Aeronca thus I assume this is an Aeronca aircraft. I don't know for sure.

One famous Aeronca K worth mentioning was the KS-162 used on the Ellsworth Antartic Expedition. The K was equipped with wheels, pontoons, skis and 2-way radios. It was used for reconnaissance for finding passages in the ice and places to moor the ship along the coast of Antarctica. That K still exists in unrestored condition in New Zealand. -Todd
This photo was taken during our travels in New Zealand in December 2003. The airframe was sitting at Blenheim Airport at the north end of the South Island. -Bent

Brady Holderread invited us to the little Airport he is based at just south & west of Kokomo, Indiana. Glenndale Airport has a real nice North & South grass strip. This place is a hot bed of Sport Aviation. We met allot of real nice folks who fed us lunch and showed us a real nice time. We took the opportunity to take a few photographs of the twin 11AC Chiefs. Thank you Brady for a wonderful day! If you get the chance visit (8I3) Glenndale sometime & say hello to Brady Holderread & 11AC Chief - NC85805.
