Francesco writes: “ This photo we can see the E.3B-449 with the tail wheel in the air. We took off from a grass runway parallel to the tarmac runway. It was a pleasure to fly at that time, without radio, without flight plan, without paying taxes, the Air Force provided us with aircraft and spare parts, and on top of that it gave us every month 200 liters of gas.”
“We can see here the types of light aircraft that the Aero Club de Tenerife had - a Stinson EC-AED, a Piper Cub EC-AKD and a Jungmann C.1131L E.3B-449. The Club also had Auster EC-AJT. In the background we can see a Bloch Languedoc from Aviaco.” - March 1958
