Admin Team-This N number has two listings-first-1946 SILVAIRE Luscombe 8A and second-1946 Luscombe 8A. Seven photos should be moved to the 1946 Luscombe 8A profile page. Historically, Luscombe did not use the model name Silvaire until the 8C model, after the 8A, but this is a common error, calling all Luscombe 8s Silvaires. Evidently, the aircraft was sold from Texas to California owner and that CA listing should contain all photos. Suggest delete the first listing.

Thank you, Walt for your quick fix. I have two more photos of N45488 taken Sunday, 21 November at SZP and now can upload them properly.

Doug:

Thanks for the information on the use of Silvaire by Luscombe - was unaware of that - proves yet again the value of this forum.

Best regards.

Peter,

Thank you for the nice comment. I appreciate that. Actually, a fair amount of that kind of aircraft model trivia is designed into my aircraft model sorts found from my Home Page here. You could find out when Cessna first started calling the C180 the Skywagon, for example (quite a few years after it was first introduced), or details of the many, many M20 Mooney models-(Al Mooney's 20th aircraft design), first metal wing M20 model, first long cabin M20 model, etc. I have separated such sorts so folks can find just such things, or maybe settle bets? I also try to list my Aircraft Make/Model sorts by order of production, newest last which is logical, and easiest to add, I should add.

Another A-D example: Timothy Aanerud has a great slide show of the different original factory color schemes on the Cessna 172 with scheme change examples for each year of production. Who was to know? Now we all can. That took a nice bit of doing on Timothy's part.
