    Well, I found this one:
    [​IMG]

    And it was referred to as Unknow Aircraft (Probably homebuilt) ...Other info: Wing Derringer
    The photo above is from Torrence CA airport. I like the color scheme in your pix better, TA152! BTW, I went to the movies last week right across Crenshaw Ave from this airport!

    I had to scan back and forth to get all the picture in !!! Only a few were built in the 60's but I always liked the looks of the plane.
    Over to you !

    How hard can it be when the registration number is visible.... To turn the tables on that.

    Thanks for the information. When I was younger I really wanted to buy an airplane. I started crunching numbers and found how very expensive that hobby would be and dropped the idea.
    If you take the plane in the ad and divided the total time of 299 hours by 27 for the age of the plane, and then by 12, it comes out that the plane was used about 9/10 th of an hour per month. Add the price of the plane, hanger, insurance, licence fees, engine inspection fees, and any maintance, plus fuel and tie down fees then you are talking big money for your hour a month flight.
    Except for trainers, this is typical for any private aircraft as for usage by the owner.

    Looks like a Lohner E flying boat.
