This time the owner's cousin wanted photos of him flying the plane. Sounded like fun to me and we were off!

And I always thought it interesting how Grumman monopolized on N#'s ending in Lima

Thanks. I know on Cessna 120s and 140s, Cessna grabbed a long string of N-Numbers in a row. On Luscombes, you can tell a lot about the plane by the range of the N-Number.
He said he felt like opening it and putting out his hands to slow him down! Pretty quick plane when flying with me!Come on, open that canopy!

Thank you. Yeah, the bright orange stands out nicely against the green on the ground!

I'm sure it must be like the Tiger which allows opening it partially (about 8 inches - it has a "Do not open in flight beyond this point placard). Problem is, it wants to close on its own so you have to rig something to keep it open. Great on hot days.

Thank you. I'm working on a quick checklist for things like this. I thought of it as soon as we landed!
Thanks. It sure gets a lot of attention when kids are around. Shiny.

Great pics! Love the paint. There's always something a little weird to me when I see the pilot looking directly at the camera. Can't explain it.
What camera/lens were you using?

I don't recall having that problem. In my case, the aircraft were only a few years old when I flew them, I imagine most of them have loosened up in the last 35 years.
