..my dad took me out to Van Sant airport today in Pennsylvania. Beautiful facility. I asked the lady at the desk (Mrs. Van Sant) if I could just poke around the hangar and take a look. She said sure.

So I open the door and there it is..



Woah! This was great; I've never seen a Chippie before, and they are neat. This looked rather old.. not quite sure if it's airworthy, but it dosen't matter. The sheer fact that its sitting in a hangar so close to me is amazing.

I have other shots, ask if you want them. Sorry for the quality; taken with my phone.

who doesn't love a chipmunk:)

Nice one James. You will have to chat someone up for a trip in that.

Nice Catch!!

  I'll heading up there in June.

Nice. Did you see its serial?

Chippies rule Of course having learnt to fly on one I'm biased

*slaps forehead*

D'oh! I forgot to.. I'll be going back soon. It didn't look like it was going anwhere.

Chipmunks are lovely aircraft. One of few light aircraft I'll always photograph when I see one (I even have a shot of one a balloon popping sortie!)

Don't know for sure, but I think I've seen that one airborne in my neck of the woods (not too many Chippies around here).
VanSant looks like a nice place to visit: haven't landed there yet, but I flew over it yesterday.

Who cares about the quality...the aircraft is great

D'oh! What time about? I know I heard something buzzing overhead; bad weather yesterday.
