Sooo, would you mind sharing a Lysander story or two with us?

I'm betting you are one of VERY few on this newsgroup with experience in that
little gem.

C'mon - we'd all love to hear about it. Seriously!

Even half of that is an impressive resume. The Lysander still
intrigues me.

The Howard DGA (Damn Good Airplane) 18 K was a Trainer- Low weing for the
Civilan Pilot Training (CPT), program.

Flew Lysanders out of UK, all night missions

Even half of that is an impressive resume. The Lysander still
intrigues me.


See, see? Everyone loves the Lysander. Please share a yarn or two, Tom - I
think the only Lysander story I even know is about Julia Child flying around in
one during her time as an OSS operative.

Dan, I think Swifty is pulling our legs. To say he began with a Scout
and then flew a Jenny is like a WW II type saying he flew P-40s and
then flew an AT-6.

Sorry, not pulling your leg.

I washed planes for gratis instruction at Roosevelt Field, NY. TM Scout
belonged to John Hay Whitney.
1st Solo was in Aeronca, 1940.

A P-40 pilot once returned to the Z.I. could easily be checked out in a T-6
for Flying pay profiency, happened all the time.
