Relatively rare airplanes.

[Chuck Ellsworth]

What relatively rare airplane have you flown?


The most fun one for me was the Mooney Mite.

Rare in Canada, but reasonably common
in the USA:

Harrison Ford planted one in a golf course
a while back.

Delightful airplane.  Checked myself out in it,
taught myself to fly acro in it. 

I liked it so much, I put it on my card.  AFAIK
I'm the only airshow pilot in North America
qualified to fly aerobatics in the PT-20/21/22
at an airshow.  Haven't checked the ICAS
database lately, though.

You find one parked, ask any TC Inspector to
teach you how to fly surface acro in it.

They're the "hot sticks", after all.

This is probably the rarest thing I've flown:

A 1935 Taylor E-2: the first of the Cubs.  Not only that, but this was the first of the first Cubs to be imported into Canada.


I also have about an hour PIC in a Thruxton Jackaroo but I forget why.

I too have flown the same E2 Cub as Slick mentions above
Along with:
- a Model A powered Pietenpol which is a rarity in Canada but not so much in the US
- a  Fleet Finch 16b in original configuration (only two really good examples exist in original config, have flown both of them)
- Piper J2 becoming rarer all the time especially in Canada
