Steve, the FBO at Plum Island, is a specialist in L-19s. There's always a half dozen of them around the place. Recently he's been doing a rework of stock L-19s for the Canadians.
He replaces the 223 HP engine with a new six cylinder 250 HP Lycoming. Adds on a three bladed prop. Adds a pair of go fast wing tips and some other refinements. When he gets through it's one fast machine. It belongs to the "Air Cadets De L'air".
He's got five more to do for them after this one.
The other picture is a stock L-19 waiting for it's turn for rework.
