Aircraft Owners and Pilots

[Mariner*]

At first glance I thought that was a Mooney.
I used to work at the local airport {non-controlled} saw a lot of different planes come and go.

One of the guys there has a restored fabric over aluminum tuber, I think it was a registered home built.
This Callair is pretty close to what it looked like.

When I climb into the cockpit of Dick Price's newly restored 1945 CallAir at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, I'm honored to be only the third person ever to fly in this classic airplane since 1957. It's not that Mr. Price hasn't allowed anyone the privilege, but rather because N34841 until November of 1998 had been dismantled for 41 years -- six years of which were used to restore the beautiful plane from spinner to tail.
