Unfortunately, this beautiful 70+ year old classic was not "flight ready" on this day.
jobeard - this one is a Piper L-4J Grasshopper. Here's some info on it from Joe Baugher's published data...
"Piper L-4J Grasshopper, Model J3C-65D".
"80789 (MSN 13085) registered N73490; reregistered N31004 8Sep11, current [Oct16]".
The "Bird Dog" was the L-19/O-1, built by Cessna. A later design and of all metal construction; first flying in 1949. It was used in S.E. Asia and the Vietnam War.
