I soloed in this airplane on Tuesday, July 4, 1950, at the West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, Wisconsin.
Aircraft N70580
The aircraft is still shown as current with a 2007 Registration Certificate in Arizona
but it appears to have lead a charmed live with two incidents recorded and may have had to be rebuilt after its first incident - as damage was reported as 'substantial'
In 1966

I purchased this aricraft in 1956 when I was 17 years old. I lived in Bonduel and flew out of Shawano Airport. Is it still flying? I now live in Las Vegas.
