Here are six that I found. This 1977 Cessna Hawk XP II sports 210 hp and a nice set of amphibious floats. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Cessna+Hawk+XP+II.tif.html Following WWII, Republic offered the Seabee to the civilian market. This is a beautifully restored 1947 example. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/1947+Republic+Seabee.tif.html This brightly colored Cessna 185 came all the way from the Yukon. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Cessna+185+from+the+Yukon.tif.html The Light Sport Pilot is allowed to fly specially-designated aircraft with only a driver's license instead of the usual FAA Medical Certificate, if he/she has not been denied an FAA Certificate. This is the neatly designed entry in that field from Sirius. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Sirius+Ultralight.tif.html I spotted this beautiful 1948 Ryan Navion heading for the gas pumps. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/1948+Navion.tif.html Everyone loves the warbirds. This 1955 North American T-28B was departing. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/1955+North+American+T-28B.tif.html Most with the X-E1 and 18-55, except for the Navion, with E-1 and Tak 135 Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
