I can remember when seeing these wasn't unusual...nowadays?...not so
much.


The one taking off with JATO bottles must
have been a heck of a ride.

And then there is the taildragger version
in here somewhere........


Found this interesting photo of Fred Weick's first design...and of course the
'twin'...sorta like the twin Mustang.

This is University Airport...somewhere around the time I was there learning to
fly...someone had a Ercoupe parked on the black ramp (left center)...the white
building showing attached to the left side of the ramp was unlocked in the
morning...left unattended all day...and someone came by at 5PM to lock the place
up...just a building with a couple couches, table, chairs, bathroom etc. No
tower...just a 'unicom' on a loop that broadcast barometric pressure and wind
direction. There was a hanger that shows as a white building going vertical to
the black ramp.
