The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'll do the unveil. All I have was the caption Curtiss JN mod to a monoplane. The only other item I have was it was taken probably in the San Diego area.

Open House.

As it is Open House, I'll try this one - surprisingly, can't find it on a forum search, so it may be new here. Won't last long, though....

Appeared 1964. Two famous names in the designation. Lycoming O-235 engine.
Fuselage of one famous name mated to wings of the other and a then tri-gear added. Was restored around 2009 and it still around.
 
I guess this is the Knepper Crusader, probably the KAC-5 which should be the only Knepper design with a Lycoming O-235.

Could find only pictures of the Knepper KA-1 which is very similar but has no windows behind the doors.
 
Hi fabulousfour:encouragement:
Sorry, not a Knepper. I understand your choice, a lot of similarities. She was completed in 1964.
Named Lesa Bair TC1 (TC1 for Taylorcraft/Cessna 1). Taylorcraft fuselage, Cessna 140 wings.
Built by Robert B. Barker and his brother. Registration N72418

All agree that fabulousfour does the next one?
 
The parasol is from a country that was a member of the Warsaw Pact in earlier times but is now part of the NATO.
First flight was in the late 1920ies.
