The only date I have seen is late 2011 or early 2012. I will keep checking the FB page and let everyone know when the date is firm. Steve

Here is the updated trailer with the Florala footage included, my L-4 appears in the trailer at the 2:24 mark. I hope they either remove or computer enhance the inaccurate T-6 and T-28 footage. They could slap a computer generated paint job on them which would help but they would still be...

One thing that was very noticeable was the pop, pop of the small arms both rifles and automatic weapons as I flew over the German positions. Even with a headset on and the engine running you could clearly hear the gunfire. They were having a good time shooting at me and we were ruled as shot...

Guys' They were shooting a movie during Operation Cobra of the Breakout from Normandy. The movie is "Red Rose of Normandy". Here are a couple of shots of the L-4 taken during filming over the three days I was there. You can see a lot more photos of Armor and vehicles on the L-4 face book page...

Wish I could be at both, shame they are on the same weekend. here is some video from 2008. Steve

Hey Guys, I will be participating in operation Cobra this coming weekend at Florala Ala. Drove up today and walked the Forward Airstrip (farm field). The L-4 will be flying in support of the US tanks and vehicles. Attached is a pic of the landing area. Are any of you guys coming to the event...

Got home this evening from the Military aircraft and vehicle show up at Enterprise Al. Really good turnout with about 4,500 attending last year and about the same number of people this year. We parked the my L-4 down in the grass area among the MVs and had a great time. Met a lot of new folks...

Guys, Check this out, how that strut stayed together is beyond me. Sgt. Stegall vs ME-109 Steve

Took these this morning, it was very clear and the heavy clouds and storms had not formed yet. You can see why the L-4 did so well as an artillery spotter, the view is spectacular. Hope you enjoy them, Steve

We are trying to ID two pieces of equipment that are mounted in a Piper L-4 from a WWII photo. The aircraft is carrying a BC-659 radio (not Shown) but still has the factory AVA-20 reel antenna installed. The two items that are field modifications (probably from a MV) are what appears to be a...

In the Panhandle and it has been really hot every day, now it is raining every day. Looking forward to Fall.

Thanks I appreciate this info. It may be a Helicopter antenna. Steve

Does anyone know what type of aircraft this FM antenna was mounted on. It is very similar (probably a later generation) of the FM whip antennas that were used on the O-1 and O-2 in Vietnam. The antenna is built a little stouter and measures 55.5 inches from tip to tip and tapers from 1/2 inch at...

Thanks but I can't take credit for this one, it was done by a well known Cub restorer in Ohio. He did a really nice and accurate job on the plane. I have restored a couple of aircraft including this O-1 Bird Dog a few years ago. I painted it in 183 rd Aviation Company (Seahorses) markings...

Thanks Guys, A friend who is in a Classic car club with me here in town is also very active with Military Vehicles and is going to keep me in the loop on events where we can include the L-4. These old L-4s spent their military service not on the large airbases but out in the field with the...

Hey Guys, I have mostly lurked this forum and a few others looking for information and sources for military equipment for my L-4. Have made a few friends and will be taking my L-4 up to Enterprise Alabama in September to display it in a Camp setting with some MVs, it should be a lot of fun...
