N1267E
I flew my first solo in N1267E on 24JUN59 at Skyhaven Airport, Warrensburg, MO. The 65 HP Aeronca Champ was owned by the SAC Aero Club at Whiteman AFB, MO. My cost was $4.00 per hour, gas included, and the instructor charged $3.00 per hour. Instructor pilot was Chris Kierk, a retired cropduster, who spoke with a Danish accent. He and his wife operated the Bell Tower Motel in KnobNoster.
I was 23 years old at the time, an Air Force E-4 in BombNav maintenance (B-47) in the 340th Bomb Wing.
