| Milt , AL | The Army Flying Club at Fort Knox (Knox Aero Klub)obtained an L18C "New in box" from Letterkenny Arsenal when the club was formed about 1957. The craft was licensed as N4237A. I think that the serial number was 212. The C85 engine did not have a generator, so a wind-driven generator was installed on a strut, so that the Cub coulod communicate with Fort Knox Tower. Later, a C85 with starter and generator was installed. The airplane was a blast to fly because it nearly levitatied off the runway and on climbout you could look over your shoulder and see the runway receding behind you. Some of the members actually flew it backwards across Godman Field if the winds were strong enough. 04/05/2008 @ 06:09 [ref: 20342] |
