Air-to-Air Cessna 175 Skylark

[Lowflynjack]

Well I'm sitting in a terminal in Fort Stockton, TX, waiting for the fog to lift so we can continue on to Sedona. Good time to post a few photos from last week!

Nick flew out to Texas from Georgia to get pics of his beautiful 175. He told me his Step-Dad refurbished the plane. He passed away a few years ago and Nick fought to keep the plane in the family. Very nice example of a Skylark with a geared engine.

Once again, the editors knocked it out of the park. I made the last page a little bigger because it's a great story. Nick was great to work with, and a truly great guy to meet.

Great photos as usual! Nice to see a Skylark with the GO-300 - as it should be.

Thanks!

I got a lot of complaints last year when I shot one with an O-360.

My recently-deceased old hangar neighbor had a straight-tail Skylark with the O-360 conversion. Nice, basic airplane, looked almost identical - paint scheme and everything - to the 1957 Skylane I owned for several years. Folks thought he flew all the dang time because they usually mistook my plane for his.
