    Good video Sonia. Always wanted to fly one of those. I've had the opportunity to fly the Cessna Bird dog. Looking at the original L-13 & the one you got to fly in, yes, modified but you got to fly it. Keep flying safe Sonia.

    Dang, that looked fun! My dad's first plane back in the early 80's was a bone-stock WWII Taylorcraft L-3. First plane I ever flew. It's hard to beat low and slow, though I guess you can't call this modified L-13 slow! Great video. Brought back some great tail dragging memories. Thanks!

    I bought a surplus L-13 way back in 1947 for $100 and converted it into a sprayer. I was staying just ahead of the combines to spray weeds in wheat fields. It was near the end of wheat harvest when the gears in the Franklin engine began to make expensive noises and then everything let go on takeoff; cloud of smoke and oil all over the windshield. Last time I ever saw it was tied down on the Minot, ND airport with a huge puddle of oil under the nose. Worst airplane I ever owned.

  • @fleuger99

    The prototype flew in 1945 but production wasn't started until 1948 and only 300 were built so not really a WW2 war bird.
