I make no claim to be a photographer, but I could not help posting this one on the 4th.

Don Larson took his N3N to last week's airshow at St. Cloud MN and we all had great time.

Is that the pitty-patter of little Jeff feet I hear doing a happy dance??
Don't feel so bad about the brown houses, what with RCCA's and such, I'd hate condo living too-

Great shot. Another N with the ultra rare stock cowl. Only three that have that cowl I think. Jeff? Don

Two flyers that I know of......Was a third for a long time but I believe the speed ring has since been removed. I have heard throught the "shipyard" that there are 5 or 6 rings running around, just that they are more a nusiance on the airplane then just sitting in the hangar.

We had N1120 for 15 years. The speed ring was not that difficult to remove for engine work. Always liked the look over just the engine hanging out. Love the look of the Lyc powered one i fly now. Don
