• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

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.
