Percy, My coupe although a 1946, has a history of serving proudly with the Civil Air Patrol, as a trainer and doing costal patrol... My hope in buying her was to restore her to her CAP colors. CAP flew a number of Ercoupes durning the war and well after.
FYI, I spent 25 years in Washington Wing CAP 1969-94.
