Very cool pic!
I think I’d rather tow that thing than fly it! 😂
I’d never heard of this plane, so I googled it. It has got to be one of the ugliest things ever constructed. However, the ability to trailer it is a major plus.
In my opinion, pretty advanced technology for 1947. FORWARD THINKING, if nothing else.
This plane lost the competition to the Cessna bird dog. There are still some examples flying, and videos on you tube. I never saw a shot of it being trailered! Thanks for sharing this!!
