MAC 145
N34373
(c/n 216)
This, in my book, was one of the nicest looking 2-seat
taildraggers ever built. It was developed
from the earlier,
immediate post-war model 125. The 145 has a Continental
C145-2H engine,
giving an honest 145
mph cruise. 22 or so were manufactured in the Tecumseh,
Michigan plant
in the early
1950s. A tribute to the design is that some 15 of them are
still on the register.
Unfortunately N34373
isn't one of them. This shot was taken at Torrance
Municipal Airport in 1961.
