| Kurt Olney , CA | Additional note: 1967 Lockheed built 2 QT-2 Prize Crew quiet/silent low altitude night recon planes for Vietnam. It was so successful, they built 11 YO-3As for use in Vietnam (see WWW.Y0-3A.COM.) Interestly Lockheed may not have known about the Stinson L-5 "Quiet Aircraft." 02/13/2007 @ 20:42 [ref: 15512] |
| Kurt Olney Vista, CA | Stinson L-5E Sentinel (s/n 44-17939) was used by the NACA at Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Hampton, VA during 1947 for tests of a five-bladed quiet propeller and muffler. (Image A-41101 in the Smithsonian NASM Archives.) 02/13/2007 @ 20:17 [ref: 15511] |

| Bill Larkins , CA | Just a reminder that the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard also flew the L-5. I will post three photos here as examples since there is no file for the OY. 09/17/2006 @ 19:02 [ref: 14194] |

http://museum.eaa.org/aircraft_list.html I flew one of these in Ceylon in the 1950's when obtaining my PPL in Ceylon. It was great fun to fly! Visit my website at: http://lungtaworld.tripod.com My very best wishes! :-) 08/07/2002 @ 08:28 [ref: 5439] |
| Amie Schuler Ft. Richardson, AK | The L-5 is an awesome airplane. My father in PA recently finished restoring a 1944 L-5E to its original condition. I'm not used to very powerful airplanes having soloed in a Piper Cub and later getting my lisence in a 150. I was just amazed at the power of the L-5 when I got my first post-restoration ride. This is truly a great airplane and it's a shame there aren't more of them still flying. 01/12/2002 @ 00:45 [ref: 4067] |
