| Bill McMillen Lincoln, CA | Does anyone know the whereabouts of J2 N16958? I would like to know if it's still flying and would like to get some pictures for a memory book I am putting together. I owned this butiful little plane back in the early 1960's. I based it out of 'Farm Air' in Knights Landing, California. (See the 1st comment posting on this site.) Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Bill McMillen 12/19/2010 @ 09:10 [ref: 34578] |
| Bill McMillen Lake Havasu City, AZ | I owned N16958 back in 1960-62 It had the A40-4 single mag Continental Engine and would cruise between 45 and 65 MPH while burning about 3 gallons of fuel. I used to by my gas in 55 Gallon drums from Cheveron and filter it through a "Chamois and Bronze screen." On day in August 1961 I was flying over a burned off rice field just north of Lincoln, CA. The thermal from the field carried me to over 11,000 feet and this was with full power and nose down attitude. (shows how little power that 36 HP engine had.) At the top, I rolled over the edge of the thermal and was headed dow at the fastest speed I think that little J-2 had ever flown. I used to Land in a stiff head wind in almost a hoover. Great plane, I wish I still had it.
I sold it to the fellow that owned Placerville Laundry in Placerville, CA. One of the sadest days of my flying days Don't fly anymore but I still remember when and dream of punching holes in the sky and clouds so heavey you thought you could shut the engine off and get out and walk on them. THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF FLYING BY THE SEAT OF YOU PANTS! 12/12/2009 @ 21:00 [ref: 25423] |
