During a flight around the valley today, I decided to stop in for some lunch at the Starduster Cafe at Independence State Airport; I've been here several times, but this is my first time flying in! After lunch, I walked around the ramp to let my meal settle before hopping back in the airplane. While waiting, I checked out some of the aircraft that were parked on the ramp and talked with some fellow pilots!
Independence (7S5) 4
Preview:
 |
| Cessna 180H Skywagon (N51PH) on the ramp. |
 |
| Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee (N6900Z) on the ramp. Based on all the gliders and sail-planes I saw on the ramp, it's a pretty good guess that this is the towing platform! |
 |
| ERCO 415-C Ercoupe (N93890) parked on the ramp. |
 |
| Grumman (McKinnon) G-44 Super Widgeon (N45PV) undergoing maintenance on the ramp. |
 |
| Let L-33 Solo (N290BA) on the ramp. The L-33 is Czech shoulder-wing, single-seat, glider, designed by Marian Meciar and Vaclav Zajic, and produced by Let Kunovice. First flown in 1992, the L-33 is supplied as a ready-to-fly aircraft with 94 airframes built as of 2011. |
 |
| Peterson J-4 Javelin (N101P) on the ramp. This is the first airframe of only eight ever built, making this a rare type! Six frames are still registered and flying as of 2011. |
 |
| Schweizer SGS 1-23H-15 (N2405W) on the ramp. The H-15 model has a reduced wingspan compared to other models, making it convertible between certain glider competition classes. |
 |
| Schweizer SGS 1-26C (N8612R) on the ramp. |
 |
| Schwizer SGS 2-33A (N1216S) on the ramp. |
