Flashback (Seventy-three or seventy-four years ago back to approx 1948-1949) ~~
A Stinson 108, NC40182, (bottom just to the right of dead center - facing away - just behind the man walking away) is among many different aircraft in this very old photo taken at Ithaca Airport (N.Y.) approx 1948-1949.
This is another photo from the memorabilia collection of Mr. Larry Myers. Thus far, I have posted four photos from Larry's collection.
** NOTE ... The aircraft reg is correct. In order to read it, I had to darken the photo very heavily which allowed the reg number on the wing to become visible enough to read. But I could not leave the photo in that condition because it was much too dark. **

I love this pic, and not just because of all the aircraft in it. Check out the cars. This photo is full of history - both aviation history and automotive history. I am extremely grateful to Larry for salvaging all the photos he found, and to honor his memory and his foresight, I am sharing the pictures he sent to me several years ago. To the best of my knowledge, this picture and the three others I have already posted into the FA gallery cannot be viewed anywhere else on the web. (gcs)
