I have before but he doesn't put them up.
I've had the same thing happen, sent pics of JZL and GCX. Those were one-off's too.

You got it, that was the last flt for my 180 for the season, I think mine was the 3rd plane down. I was not based there, weagamow air kept them there for the winter.

Thanks! The box on top of the cowl is a lightbar much like what you would see on a ground rig for chemical application. These Cubs are used for aerial seeding, and the lightbar will give you a bunch of information but is primarily used to show whether you are left or right of centre line on your swath.

Unless you've named that plane, wouldn't your boss want you to call that a GE Otter? It's just missing the logo from my dishwasher on the side. The new paint sure looks a lot nicer then it did last summer.

Wow... that pic brought back memories! I used to work for Walstens when they still had a float fleet. Had to go up there one spring to get the Otter, Beaver, 2x6 and buck 80 back in the water.
